Don't you think it would be cool to have, like a Bolt Action sniper or something? As far as I know, no guns in Halo are bolt-action.

why have a bolt-action weapon, when you can have a semi or full auto weapon for the same price? bolt-actions are obsolete in 2009, so in 2552? i dont think so.

Golf Wang. Brony.

The Beam Rifle feels like it's bolt-action. Like someone already said, a bolt-action would be obsolete during that period of time.

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed, knowing better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives: not men, for flags.

Like, masterchef1 said, it's not likely that our military would have bolt-action rifles 500 years in the future. Look at how much guns have advance in the past 500 years. The SRS99C does just fine, IMO.

Actually, a bolt action Gauss gun, similar but smaller then the turret version would be pretty sweet.
Every time you fire the gun you would have to open up the huge chamber and put in another Gauss shell.

Like Fallout's. How I love my Gauss Rifle.

Anyways, no. Somebody has been playing too much WaW and think that they're so good with a bolt action.

It would not make any sense what so ever to appear, unless as described like the Fallout Gauss Rifle. Halo weapons are crappy compared to today's, but that is for game balance.

I don't even have WaW...

Having a bolt action gun in Halo would be like having a musket in Call of Duty. It just doesn't work.

That's because they are slow, and have been done away with in 500 years in the future.

We still use bolt-action rifles today but that far in the future they would be obsolete.

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

No thanks. I'd rather use a rock in a sling.

and share the rock.
