From Bungie.org FAQ:
[Q] Hey, does it say 'RAT' or 'KAT' on the side of the gun in that Halo 2 screenshot?
[A] Neither one. The screenshot in question, a still from the Halo 2 Announcement trailer, shows the Master Chief holding a new assault rifle, with some chinese and english text along the side. The first english (or, more accurately, german) word, as can be seen here (thanks, Storm Singer) reads 'Kal' - short for 'Kaliber'. This has been confirmed by sources within Bungie. (The Chinese, for what it's worth, translates to 'Monkey King' - a Google search will turn up more information about this subject than most sane minds can handle.)
