New weapon revealed on the new Xbox 360 Magazine


Recommended Posts

I've read so many people saying it looks like a mini-MAC cannon o.o.

Do you know how much energy that little weapon would have to generate to make it even a mini-MAC? Another thing about the mini-MAC theory is, what kind of ammo would it shoot?

Perhaps it's the forerunner version of an assault rifle, re-worked to shoot UNSC ammunition.. Could also be a forerunner sniper rifle re-worked..

Or... it's that new covenant plasma rifle-like thing that someone had mentioned.

The UNSC has had vehicle-mounted MAC cannons for years (the Gauss Hog). It isn't much of a stretch to think that they could have developed one that can be used by infantry.

It's the same concept but not the same thing. MACs fire depleted uranium cells, gauss cannon's always looked more like a beam of energy to me >.>

So while that weapon could be a handheld Gauss, I don't think there's any way that it would be a handheld MAC.

Reminds me a little bit of the Gauss Cannon from Crysis.

 

I'm thinking that it is a smaller version of the Gauss turret from the Warthog - scaled down to be a portable weapon instead of mounted on a vehicle.

since when can a guest post?

I don't know, but I agree with him.
