Like its relatives in the MA5 family, the MA2B is tough and reliable. It has electric targeting, an ammo supply indicator, and a recoil-reduction system. The MA2B can deliver an impressive fifteen rounds per second and uses [[.390]] caliber ammunition <ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 75</ref>. | |||
