How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

My analysis of the weapon being held on the far left is that it's an M247 machine gun.
M247 machine gun, Halopedia

"Portable - The second variant is a mobile version in which the main gun is placed on a fold-able tripod or bipod for quick relocation and setup in the field. Though it lacks shielding (and possibly rate of fire), it can be moved from location to location by a single Marine. It is unavailable in multiplayer and, despite its portability, is unable to be picked up and moved when it appears in the Campaign."

I assume that it is an M247 with an ammo belt rather than the drum pictured on the page. It also has a bipod, and may have a light on it for special uses. This is only speculation.

PS: Figure on the left of the center, the smallest, is Kelly-087. Being female, she would be smaller than the males surrounding her. She is extremely fast, and would need small size to be so fast.

*Bump for the win*

Please, provide whether you agree or not that I am right.

Banner, magnified. Take a look at the gun on the far left.

KEEP IT CLEAN

Hey it's CookieMan from TopTenSeries! (I'm stillercity).

I don't think it looks like the machine gun turret to me at all though...there's two barrels in the silhouette and only one on the M247 turret. Also, there's no chain on the turret, and the silhouette looks (to me) like it has a chain.

Hey, Stiller!
I thought the extra "Tube" thing on the front may be a flashlight, like on the shotgun or AR.
Or, maybe a small ammo drum, though that may not be necessary with the chain of bullets.

It doesn't look like it as it doesn't have the tube on the bottom. I think it might be a downgraded version of it though.

Possibly less accurate/higher rate of fire?

That and probably a portable version.

I wish I was still legendary.

I thought it may have been this one, but apparently that's more often used by the IRF.

Your idea seems better. A stripped-down version for ease of deployment/carrying?

Huh, I never noticed those ships in the background of the banner before that enlarged picture.

And does that one on the left look like an elite to anyone else?

It looked like one at first but when I enlarged the image you can tell its a spartan because of the way the helmet is.

PICKETT (EGG FOR LIFE)

the idea of the sillhoute of the weapon being that weapon is unlikely due to the chain and other features. but nevertheless good idea. If that certain weapon was included into this game then be prepared for a major advantage for those players that have one. And i would like to see it be reintroduced into the game anway
