I still think it's a decent weapon, you just have to handle it well. But I'd use a shotgun anyday over an assault rifle.

You been using that Ma5c to much havent you kim ;)
No. :P The MA5C is vastly superior to the MA5B in every way. But I still think the MA5B is decent against the Flood.

I prefer the 8 Guage Hippo.
The Hippo is a master of close quarters combat after all. Pretty damned dangerous, don't let it charge at you. :P
I always carry the AR to deal with the infectios forums. And the AR does have some effect on the flood, I would rather use the Shottie or pistol, but the AR is an effective secondary weapon against flood.
The assault rifle is best used on the infection forms. Nothing pops them as they come so quickly.
Plasma rifle's pretty good too.
Just for laughs, I tried using the needler against the Flood. It's fricking HILARIOUS when you seen purple, blue and yellow explosions.Not a particularly effective weapon, but certainly amusing.
