Sure Pistols are powerful, but they are restrictive as to your firing speed. Magnums are weaker, but faster, so when you pump 20 rounds into an Elite it's so much more satisfying.

Face it. Magnums are just more fun. 'funner' if you may.

Yes. The Battle Rifle is the M6D.

Use your head. The one on your shoulders. No really, just try. Please?

So you like to just spam with bullets? And what difficulty were you playing on when you killed an elite with 20 magnum bullets?

Of course easy. I'd rather pwn and have more fun than challenge myself, and well... challenge myself.

I'm not jumping to conclusions, but please don't have your next post be something along the lines of "You suck, that's why you have your opinion."

Well, why dont we compromise?

M6D:
Non DW, 6 shot kill, scope

Magnum:
DW, 14 shot kill, 7 when DW, no scope

If i had to choose between one or the other though, it would be the M6D.

You are jumping to conclusions he was refering to the difficulty of the game because 20 magnum bullets would come no where close to killing elites on some difficulties.

Ok, ok. My bad. It just sounded like a "Do you just suck or something??" comment.. I've seen it before. Of course, I'd like an answer from him, if I could ever get one.

Rate of fire, ammo count, burst fire, auto-aim, and the obvious four shots vs three.

The other team is not the enemy, lag is the enemy!

Bring back Halo 1 Pistol, greatest weapon in FPS gaming history.

ok yeah maybe the reload is slower for the BR, but even then its almost the same, you just failed to recognize that bungie wanted to make a gun that didnt dominate everyone and that there are dif shields so i applaud u for sucking a big one at recognizing the similarities.

Okay.

Differences:
* Pistol is a 3 shot kill, BR 4 (12 if you want to count the actual rounds expended).
* Pistol had greater range.
* BR is easier to use, as it has a three-shot spread that can hit the Spartan model's head, left arm, and right testicle all in one pull of the trigger.
* Pistol had a faster rate of fire. Could be wrong on that though; might just be the TSK with the Pistol that makes it seem faster.

Similarities:
* Meant to be the "all-around" gun of the game.
* To those who have their brains located directly in their anuses, the aforementioned differences are null.

similarities are a scope and that they both perform the same role?
