The MA5K is a | The MA5K is a cut-down version of the standard [[MA5B assault rifle]].<ref name="HGOOC20">''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', Chapter 20</ref> It is fully automatic and receives a thirty-round magazine of [[7.62x51mm|7.62×51mm FMJ-AP ammunition]].{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} The most conspicuous difference between the MA5K and other MA5 models is the replacement of the distinctive electronics housing with a removable carrying handle similar to that of the [[BR55 battle rifle]]. The handle probably integrates a digital ammunition counter like the BR55 and other MA5 models. | ||
==Operational History== | |||
MA5Ks were used by the [[SPARTAN-III Program|SPARTAN-IIIs]] from [[2531]] to [[2552]], especially during the [[Onyx Conflict]].{{Ref/Reuse|HGOOC20}} | |||
MA5Ks were used in the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] in [[2560]]. During the [[Battle of the Beacon Tower]], [[Robin Dimik]] gave her MA5K, salvaged from the wreckage of one of the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s lifeboats, to [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Tomas Horvath]] to use against the defending [[Banished]] forces. However, Dimik only had forty-six rounds left for the weapon and, even with precision shooting to conserve ammo, Horvath ran out of ammunition before the rest of the [[boat crew]] rejoined him, forcing Horvath to switch to scavenged Banished weapons.{{Ref/Novel|RP|35}}{{Ref/Novel|RP|36}} | |||
