Subject: How do spartans shoot their guns accurately

Well they have it linked to their HUD first off. And second there is a bit of a slot in between the chest plate and shoulder pauldron where the butt of the gun can be placed. This area also is much more flexible. Plus in Fall of Reach it is mentioned that Mk.V has recoil dampeners so the gun stays still.

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

If you really want to read into this sort of thing, just look at the matte-black gel layer you can see at flex points on the armor. A spartan could use that as a cushion against the recoil, even though his brute strength would be able to pretty much absorb the recoil as it is.

Regardless, the Spartans trained without their armor for years. Could just be habit. And the weapons are designed to be held against the shoulder. Firing from the hip would slow reloading, could block ejection ports, and may make a larger profile.

Beyond that, it is easy to mentally visualize where you are aiming without having to check your sights if the weapon is shoulder-mounted. If a Spartan couldn't shoot a target without the use of a smart-linked scope, would you call them super soldiers?

This, also the MA5 series has almost no recoil anyway.

Major C.B.

Firing the guns wouldn't be metal-on-metal. It would be metal-on-energy-shield. The Spartans have to "mold" the energy around their hands just to be able to hold the weapons.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Fact. I'm a bit embarrassed I didn't remember this.
