Bungie confirmed that the new Assault Rifle fires projectiles in the new weekly update.
Now I'm having a hard time imagining that Assault Rifle firing projectiles.
Any thoughts?

edit: Alright, alright stop explaining to me that a projectile=a bullet. i'm Belgian, i just thought that a projectile was another word for a missile like those of the rocket launcher, so that freaked me out a bit because an AR firing missiles!?!? I didn't know projectiles also included normal bullets.

a projectile is a bullet or something along those lines. and its a human weapon, so firing a projectile means its firing bullets.

What does firing progectiles mean anyway.

you do know what a projectile is right?

a bullet is a projectile. AR firing projectiles just means it's firing bullets like a normal gun. He said it was just a joke anyway

Sorry, I'm Belgian. I thought the joke was the part were he said they could make it a melee-only weapon. I thought projectiles were the ammo for bazookas and stuff, y'know big bullets
:-D

The Assault Rifle will shoot projectiles? Who'd a thunk it? [/sarcasm]

Prohectiles = anything that can be thrown or propelled. Assault Rifles will shoot bullets. Grenades? Maybe. A grenade is a projectile.....
And Bungie confirmed this? I thought it would be obvious. I guess some people had hoped it would shoot flaming bunnies with exploding chainsaws for teeth.

Technically, a flaming bunny would still be a projectile.

Man, poor Bungie- they can't even joke around because people here freak out about everything.

Sorry, i already said I'm Belgian, I didn't know projectiles also included normal bullets like the ones of the AR. Like i said i thought a projectile was a rocket for a rocket launcher or an rpg or a bazooka, whatever.

jees, some of you people are idiots.

Instead of being all like 'wtf is a projectile?' Why not go look it up in a dictionary? Huh?

Fine, i'll do it for you:
pro·jec·tile
Pronunciation Key (pr-jktl, -tl)
n.
* A fired, thrown, or otherwise propelled object, such as a bullet, having no capacity for self-propulsion.
* A self-propelled missile, such as a rocket.

adj.
* Capable of being impelled or hurled forward.
* Driving forward; impelling: a projectile force.
* Zoology. Capable of being thrust outward; protrusile.


Basically, KP was saying it fired bullets (and perhaps some other projectiles) in halo 3. Which is no surprise really. The AR did that in Halo 1.

Edit: some people got to it before me.

The whole thing is, he's stating the AR is coming back. Its to stop the controversy about it being a different gun.

If you crumpled up a paper ball and threw it that would be a projectile.

If they don't then it means nothing comes out of the gun ...

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

just to throw that out there, but "projectile" could be anything, anything you can think of, can and will be a projectile at some time.

lol just made a good joke!

A projectile is not a bullet. Bullets are a type of projectile. A projectile can be anything launched or thrown through some sort of medium. Torpedos are projectile. Missiles are projectiles. Rocks are projectiles. Plasma grenades to the face are projectiles.
