Subject: The real weapons of the future UNSC

So I was doing my own research about advanced weapons when suddently I found these bullet based weapons of the future

Now I know that there a lot of topics related to new weapons for Halo:Reach but I was wondering...If Halo is in the year 2500 and this weapons are today...why arent this weapons on the Halo Universe?

They look like the perfect fit for the UNSC in Halo:Reach,any thoughts?

why are today's marines more effective than high tech marines 500 years in the future?
why can our sniper rifle pierce a tank armor in one shot and 500 years in the future they cant even go through shields?
why are our helicopters able to evade rockets and alien/ours in the future can't?

etc etc.
halo isn't exactly about realism.... :/

Technically the Banshee can dodge a few rockets by Following Peppy's advice.

But yes, Halo is not realistic.

Marines are still human
Snipers were ment for killing silently the enemy infantry...not to tanks
No they cant...those who lived it can only tell you the story that they digded a rocket...also UNSC has more advanced missles

etc.etc.
Halo is real :P

well, today's swats are more effective than marines with ultra high tech stuff from 500 years in the future... :/ in H3 they can barely kill a grunt. today's marines can take out tanks by themselves (if they have a rocket launcher).

and as for the sniper, of course XD I just mean they have enough power to pierce armor... and I believe today's tanks would offer more armor than an energy shield on a suit.

The guy from above never mentioned the Halo Rings..also the Assault Rifle,Battle Rifle,Sniper Rifle,Magnum etc. are very real

P.S. Nice

EDIT: Can we please stay on topic and leave the "Halo for Real" for another time

Um...the way you said "Halo is real" you are stating that as if you believe the entirety of the Halo universe is in fact physically possible, despite the enormous improbabilities. The rifles, I can accept. The statement, I had to raise an objection.

Very hard to detect sarcasm or jokes on the internet. Just an FYI.

On topic: I believe Metal Storm wasn't conceived by the time the Halo games were first developed. So they weren't put in.

Answer as to why not: Continuity. Metal Storm can be used for hand-held rifles as well, so it doesn't make too much sense to suddenly throw Metal Storm in when the continuity already says that they use the old fashioned style guns.

In other words you are saying that "Is doesn't make such a difference having an automatic weapon like the Assault Rifle or Gun Turret and it woudn't make such a difference?" if that so..I do agree

Still I would love to throw 1,000,000 Rounds per minute to a Grunt squad

It would be awesome to shoot 1 mill at a Grunt, but continuity gets in the way, every time.
