"If buttered toast lands buttered side down, and cats always land on their feet, then what happens when you attach buttered toast to the back of a cat?

You just want the Assault Rifle to be something it is not. You do know the difference between a real life Assault Rifle and Battle Rifle right? They fit their niches as they should. There is no single perfect gun that fits all roles and performs well. The whole reason assault rifles were developed is because engagements were being held at closer range, so a weapon more powerful than an SMG but with the range of a traditional rifle was sought. The Halo 3 AR handles that role quite well.The Halo 1 and 3 Assault Rifles have laughable range and are not versatile weapons at all... this is why they are poor spawn guns. They are only useful at close range, and hardly even work at midrange; with my suggestions, they would be operational at midrange in the right hands.
That way they are more suited for their roles without completely butchering them and resurrecting a God pistol. You could always just weaken the Pistol from 3 shots to 5 or something like that, so it kills as fast as the BR. Like I said, how many times do you get into a mid range fight than a close range? The gun doesn't need to be fixed, it's just you want to be able to use it for something it isn't designed to do. You don't need to fix the gun because it isn't the problem, the problem is that people are more often in mid range battles than close, so the AR isn't effective. You are making this more complicated than it is. It isn't the gun, it's the map size. There are too many large maps, and not enough small ones. Sure you can make the AR more accurate and give it a little more range, I'm all for that, but messing with clip size, the amount of rounds per kill, it's just overkill. You don't need a complicated fix to a simple problem.
The pistol needs to stay a pistol. I don't know why you would rather have the return of the Halo 1 pistol than the BR, they are one in the same. You can't say they they aren't because of clip size or auto aim. The pistol was a 3 shot kill, 12 round clip. The BR is a 12 shot kill, 36 round clip. They are proportionate. Sure, the pistol had no auto aim and the BR does, but no gun in Halo 1 had auto aim, while every gun had auto aim in Halo 2 and 3.
