What the hell?
Why would a Rifle be weaker than a pistol.
If anything ,it will be stronger.

because if the caliber of the bullet dude, and we know that it has the power to punch through the jackles shields (2003 E3 demo) but it sounds like it will have less power then the pistol (if the pistol is the same as it is in first strike)

The Brifle fires in bursts when unzoomed, and in single shots when zoomed. And I don't think a puny(yet powerful) handgun can match a BR for strength. Bungie is probably going to take away the 3shot in head thing, though.

Theres no such thing as a pistol with a higher calliber than a rifle.

Pistols generally use 9mm while rifles usually use 7.62X39

You all have to remember about balance. Bungie isn't going to make a super weapon that's better than the rest. The BR will have both strengths and handicaps.

I find that hard to believe.

That battle rifle rounds are 3 mm smaller than the M6D.

My guess if you shot the M6D at the Mark VI armor it would take 4 hits.
With the Battle Rifle it will take 5 to 6 hits.

If it did the same or more damage they would not give you 3 times the ammo in the clip.

The bullets my be large in radius, but rifle rounds are still longer length-wise and can more easily penetrate armor.

If you read the books it says 3 shots take down sheilds.thats how it should be

The Battle Rifle fires 12 three round bursts. So, probably each burst will equal one shot from the pistol in Halo.

*While in zoom it fires in single shot bursts. Keeps things even.
