In the book First Strike they find new hand guns that were perfectly balanced and more powerful.They were 30% larger.If they implement them into halo 2.Id be laughing hysterically at all the complaining ppl would be doing.I hope these r in Halo 2.Oh yeah,these guns didnt have scopes though,so it would be almost as fair.These "magnums" were for close range like he told Locklear.

No, in the book First Strike when they find the pistols in that weapons locker, they call them magnums not HE pistols, HE pistols are in Halo. and also they said that it was easily 30% larger than the other pistols. The HE pistols are from Halo

" These were'nt the standard issue HE pistols. No, these were at least 30% larger with an extended heavy barrel. "

Page 124 of First Strike, and please make your post more legible. It is really annoying to read and difficult to understand. So please edit it.

I think that you might be getting confused here. It means that the hand guns weight is perfectly balanced, not that they would be balanced in the game.

Is that what you meant? Otherwise I dont understand why they couldnt be balanced.

What he means is, it says that the pistol is topheavy, but when you put the shell in is is perfectly balance.

yes thats right.It says they were balanced better than the HE pistols.Even though they were heavier and more powerful.So for their close range purposes it sounds like theyre even easier to handle.
