However, the size of the round would have a problem fitting in the 36-round magazine of the current Battle Rifle. If a [[wikipedia:Heckler_&_Koch_G3|Heckler Koch G3]] (which is chambered in 7.62 x 51mm) has a standard magazine capacity of 20 and be the size that it is, it would be hard to see a cartridge much wider than the 7.62mm fit inside of a magazine of the Battle Rifle's size and with a capacity of 36 rounds. The Battle Rifle's magazine would have to be about twice as long as it actually is to hold that many rounds. This is a continuous pattern with UNSC assault rifles; a similar instance occurs with the MA5B. The MA5B has a magazine capacity of 60 rounds, chambered in 7.62 x 51mm, with a magazine size that appears even smaller than the Battle Rifle's magazine. | However, the size of the round would have a problem fitting in the 36-round magazine of the current Battle Rifle.

It is also possible that, at least as far as ballistics and recoil goes, that the rifle's design might actually directly affect the accuracy of the rifle, given that the events of Halo take place over 500 years in the future. Even some modern weapons already have framework that greatly reduce accuracy, such as the AN-94 Abakan, which fires 5.56mm ammunition, but with near-pinpoint accuracy even in full-automatic fire, due to an advanced framework that lowers recoil and barrel-climb. | |||
