The Halo ODST pistol is like the Halo 1 Pistol... which makes it sexy.

I don't think it is automatic. I suspect it is semi-automatic and he just happens to have a fast trigger finger.

it's not auto its semi-auto. It fires as fast as you pull the trigger

Dear lord....

The BR is a durst weapon. Trigger = 3 shots fired. The ODST pistol, Trigger = One shot. Pump your finger quickly, fire the pistol quickly. Pump it once, fire it once. One round and only one.

Battle Rifles are burst-fire, which essentially means the gun is capable of automatic fire, it just has a mechanism to regulate this into three-shot bursts. A semi-automatic only fires once with each pull of the trigger.

Really? Then why did the pistol continuously fire when you held down the trigger?

But in any case, the pistol of ODST is semi-automatic. It is called the "automag" probably because of the high rate of fire.

That is high because the design of the weapon mandated that, in leiu of power, changes be made to the pistol to make it more combat effective so that, while awesome, it isn't quite as devistating as the aforementioned Halo 1 pistol.

Can anyone decipher what the Korean letters on the flashlight(?) says?

It's not automatic. It shoots as fast as you pull the trigger. Also, it's only available in Firefight so you aren't going to have to worry about it in VS multiplayer. If they did put it into Halo 3 multiplayer it could destroy.

I'm sure the new one is single shot. Either way, it is bound to be as powerful as the Halo: CE pistol was.
