So i'm in the Library during &th period study hall, and i happen to see the September 04 edition of "Popular Mechanics" - and see a shady Spec Ops warrior carrying some tan plastic rifle thingy-ma-bobber. So i crack it open out of curiosity, and 10 minutes later I'm on Google lookin' it up!

Check this -blam!- out!!!

TELL me that isn't the friggin' Battle Rifle, right outta Halo 2!! (except for the placement of the Magazine)

Close-minded people, -blam!- off.

This belongs in New Mombasa, but from what you said it sounds like
you got flammed in there. (no surprise) The link works but I'm getting
an error on the page. Do you know what the gun is called so I can
look it up myself?

On a side note it wouldn't shock me if Bungie took the model of the
BR from a real world gun at all, so you could be right.

It looks vaguely like the battle rifle but not enough for me to be convinced that Bungie got the idea from the U.S's weapon.
