the BR-55 (battle rifle) for example is already a 'modern' gun, its hardly different from an gun used on the battlefields of the presant, it is long barrelled, burst firing, bullpup assault rifle, very similar to something like an L85A2 or TAR-21, only differences are likely to be manufacturing standard (due to superior fabrication technologies) and things like endurance due to superior materials, maybe more stopping power (better propellants, etc) but all in all they are no different to an M4 as an example. thats the beautiful thing about the halo universe in general for me, its entirely based on 'reality' rather than fiction like star wars or star trek with a very modern military feel to it, even the standardised weapons and vehicles are a testimony to this overall feel.
emhem... The br55 uses an imaginary caliber and fires from a tiny ass magazine...it's not exactly realistic. Maybe more realistic than starwars, but that's not saying too much. I know this is for gameplay purposes, but I mean...it's just not true to life.
No calibler is imaginary, it's simply a statement of distance. There's nothing about the round it's chambered for that couldn't be produced in real life, and 36 rounds is a reasonable size for a modern magazine.
A standard magazine for 5.56mm ammo holds 30 rounds, so how does a smaller magazine fit 6 more, much larger 9.5mm ammo?
