I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

It has no scope because it is a spray weapon and at the ranges where you need a scope, the AR is useless any way.
That there is your reason. It's an eye-ball, medium-range burst and spray weapon. Most (I emphasize MOST, not all) Shotguns dont have sights either. Why? Cuz at that range, sights are prettymuch a moot point anyways.
Think of the AR as a Shotgun, shooting individual pellets at a rapid rate, and each pellet happens to be HELLA-HUGE. But the range, spread, and relative damage is comparable by nature.
The HUD link up is a possibility, yes. But it just makes more sense...why doesn't it have sights or a scope? Cuz at that range...you DON'T really need it....
A 7.62x51 bullet can be shot with deadly accuracy up to 300 meters, and a shotguns blast isn't something that's only effective up to 10 feet in front of you.
The in-game mechanics do not accurately reflect the Halo Universe, and this discussion is more about the Universe than the Games.
