Isn't the Bandana Skull some sort of reference to the Metal Gear Solid series?
In one of the games Snake can equip a bandana which allows him to have infinite ammo. Not sure which one though.

avid forger, love vehicle gameplay

It's the infinity bandana. And It's in Peace Walker, which is an awsome game

That's kind of a running thing. I remember it more from the first Metal Gear Solid game.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

I was wondering why it was called Bandana. Good to know.

So do you think it's a reference to the series or just a coincidence?

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

A reference most likely, the bandana has been in all of the MGS games to date (Not sure if it was on Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake or the PSP offshoots like Portable Ops).

lol and here I was thinking it was a Rambo reference

I was thinking more of a Rambo reference myself too. Like how Rambo always seems to have unlimited amounts of ammo to spray with. I mean, he is in a way the most iconic action hero in media...wearing a bandana mostly. Which also lead to this awesome parody back in the days, and I'm sure 343i intended the skull to refer back to Rambo as well.

You know I never thought of Rambo until you said it. I suppose the reason being is that I've only heard of him and never seen any of the films, but played most of the Metal Gear Solid games.

This is basically what I thought, too.
