Semper Fidelis- Always Faithful

Is it me, or do some weapons in the Halo universe feel "underpowered" for their caliber?

Example, the SRS99; aka, the Sniper Rifle of Halo. Not too much has changed about this rifle since CE. Big, powerful, deadly accurate, four round mag, a somewhat quick reload, slow rate of fire, we all know it. What irks me is the fact than a 50cal is a 12.7mm round, the SRS fires a 14.5mm...SO WHY DOES IT TAKE A WHOLE CLIP TO KILL AN ELITE WITH AN ELEPHANT GUN!?!

It drives me insane to have to pump eight rounds of sniper into an Elite's skull to drop him. If their gonna have that, at least give us poor fools more than twenty-four rounds!

Enough of my rant, anyone want to share their thoughts?

I'MMA CHARGIN MAH LAZA

Um, Elite shields are pretty strong. I wouldn't say that anything is really underpowered. It all makes sense to me.

Also, I totally read the thread title as "A clip of lead a day keeps the babies away." lulz.

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's pretty lame how Jun says "one of these will take the hat off an Elite at 2000 yards" right before you fight elites which eat sniper rounds for breakfast.

You are exaggerating... majors have always died from two bullets to the head on legendary.
