| The '''MA3A Individual Combat Weapon System''' is an assault rifle in [[Misriah Armory]]'s [[MA series]], presumably a variant of the MA3 - one of the earlier variants of the MA-series of rifles.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc162|Enc22|Page=163}}{{Ref/Note|In ''Halo: First Strike'' and ''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', the weapon is identified as the MA3 assault rifle. However, ''Halo Waypoint''{{'}}s article on the MA series refers to it as the MA3A. The ''A'' in the weapon's designation implies that it is a variant of the baseline MA3.}}

| As of [[2552]], production of the MA3A had ceased, though it was common on the [[black market]] and was favored among [[terrorist]] organizations.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us#/intel/featured/gallery/assault-rifle/7b27101b-fec7-41d9-9fe3-c4dcc04f01b1|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Assault Rifle|LocalArchive=Archive:Halo_Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Universe/Weapons|D=14|M=03|Y=2011}} The [[Insurrectionist]] guards on [[Eridanus Secundus]] were armed with MA3As, which replaced the [[HMG-38 heavy machine gun]]s they had previously used.{{Ref/Novel|HFS|Chapter=28}}
| | The '''MA3B Assault Rifle''' is an older variant of the [[Assault Rifle|MA5B Assault Rifle]] used by the [[Marine]]s of the [[UNSC]]. These weapons were obsolete when the MA5B was produced, as the MA5B was capable of being stripped down or reconfigured in different ways for various missions. The MA5B could become an [[MA2B Assault Rifle]] when its excess components were removed. |

| ==Notes==
| | As of [[2552]], these weapons were in the black market. They were used by the [[Eridanus Rebels]] for security of [[Eridanus Secundus]]. When [[Master Chief|Spartan-117]] returned to the base, the guards were using MA3B's, which replaced the [[HMG-38 Rifle]] model they had previously used. |

| | It is also noted that Spartans such as [[Kurt]] used MA3B's in raids like the one in [[Ghosts of Onyx]] during the earlier years of the [[SPARTAN]] program. |
