The '''MA5D Individual Combat Weapon System''' ('''ICWS''') is an [[Wikipedia:Assault rifle|assault rifle]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. Like the rest of the [[MA5 series]], the MA5D is designed and manufactured by [[Misriah Armory]].<ref name="GI 522012">[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/05/02/the-arsenal-of-halo-4.aspx '''Game Informer:''' ''The Arsenal of Halo 4'']</ref> | The '''MA5D Individual Combat Weapon System''' ('''ICWS''') is an [[Wikipedia:Assault rifle|assault rifle]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]].

== Overview == | ==Overview== | ||
The MA5D assault rifle is an air-cooled, [[Wikipedia:Gas-operated reloading|gas-operated]], magazine-fed, fully automatic bullpup rifle that fires standard [[7.62x51mm | The MA5D assault rifle is an air-cooled, [[Wikipedia:Gas-operated reloading|gas-operated]], magazine-fed, fully automatic bullpup rifle that fires standard [[M118 Full Metal Jacket Armor-Piercing|7.62x51mm FMJ-AP ammunition]] from a 32- or 36-round detachable box magazine.<ref name="h4portal">[http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!an-epic-universe/ordnance-armor/cbbca9b3-5108-41aa-aa21-9b523de68266'''Halo 4 Official Site''': ''Ordnance + Armor'']</ref><ref name="universe"/> The magazine contains a two chambered magnetic feed system, which allows more ammunition to be contained in a shorter magazine. It possesses a built-in ammunition indicator and magnetic compass for orientation similar to that of all other MA5 series rifles. It bears few noticeable design differences from the [[MA5C assault rifle|MA5C]] apart from an integrated muzzle brake. | ||
The MA5D ICWS was in limited service use as early as [[2525]] when it was issued to officer cadets, drill instructors, and security personnel at the [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]], as well as [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Blue Team]].<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn'''</ref><ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/Content/assets/en-us/Podcast/343Sparkast_014.mp3 '''343 Sparkast 014''']</ref><ref name="TFOR">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series]]'''</ref> It saw continued use throughout the war, though the MA5's [[MA5B assault rifle|''B'']] and ''C'' variants remained more common.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''[[Prologue]]''</ref><ref>''Halo: Initiation'', Issue 1</ref><ref>''Halo: Escalation'', Issue 7</ref> By [[2557]] the MA5D had become standard issue. It is now favored due to its ruggedness and ability to withstand the conditions that are often faced on frontier [[human colonies|colonies]].<ref name="H4VG"/> | |||
=== | ==Variants== | ||
* | ===October 2558 variant=== | ||
* | By October [[2558]] a variant of the MA5D existed with the "p/n 00118-B" body. It had the [[Weapon Serial Numbers|serial number]] of "007230814". This variant had a removable case at the top that hides a "P/N 16309" rail to attach various attachments onto it. This variant is often fielded with a [[Projection sight]].<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> | ||
*'''Recon MA5D''': Assault Rifle with [[Recon sight]]. UNSC Army configuration with quick-acquisition sights for mid-range engagements. | |||
*'''Longshot MA5D''': Assault Rifle with [[Longshot sight]]. UNSC Marine Corps Interim Fireteam Support (IFS) configuration for intermediate-range combat and long-range suppression. | |||
*'''Hybrid MA5D''': Assault Rifle with [[Hybrid sight]]. This variant is a testbed for human-Sangheili technology sharing, fitted a modified Carbine holoscope. | |||
*'''COG MA5D''': Assault Rifle with [[COG sight]]. Security configuration issued to ONI’s armed-response teams. | |||
=== | ====MA5D Attachments==== | ||
*'''[[Long Barrel]]''': Increases range of bullet magnetism and aim assist. | |||
* | *'''[[Laser Targeter]]''': Increases weapon accuracy by reducing bullet spread. | ||
*'''[[Silencer]]''': Firing the weapon does not make the user show up on enemy radar. However, walking still gives away the user's position. | |||
* | *'''[[Stabilization Jets]]''': Helps control vertical recoil. | ||
* | *'''[[Kinetic Bolts]]''': Augments knockback and damage against vehicles. | ||
*'''[[Energy Bayonet]]''': Increases melee damage and range, allowing for a one-hit kill against normal opponents. | |||
*'''[[Knight blade]]''': Increases melee effectiness, with extra damage and knockback against vehicles. | |||
* | *'''Extended Magazine''': Increases both ready and reserve ammunition capacity by 50%. | ||
* | *'''[[Threat Marker]]''': Tracks targeted enemy personnel for a short time. | ||
*'''[[Sound Dampener]]''': Increases effective range and reduces firing signature. | |||
* | |||
=== Changes from ''Halo | ==Gameplay== | ||
* | ===Changes from MA37 ICWS in ''Halo: Reach''=== | ||
* | *Heavier but more controllable reticle bloom | ||
*More damage per round: only 13 shots are needed to kill a fully-shielded Spartan instead of 19. | |||
*Slightly increased rate of fire | |||
*Maximum reserve ammo has been reduced from 288 rounds to 256 rounds, and a standard reserve of 224 rounds, forcing the player to scavenge for ammo more frequently. | |||
=== Changes from | ===Changes from ''Halo 4'' to ''Halo 2: Anniversary''=== | ||
* | *Less damage per round, 16 shots are required to kill a fully-shielded Spartan. | ||
== | ===Changes from ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' to ''Halo 5: Guardians''=== | ||
*Can now be zoomed in using the [[Spartan abilities#Smart Scope|Smart Scope]] and have its bloom and max spread reduced at the cost of added recoil | |||
*Faster bloom regeneration | |||
*Magazine size increased from 32 rounds to 36 | |||
*Reload speed slightly increased | |||
*Headshots now deal 2x damage on unshielded targets | |||
*Increased damage, killing in 13-15 rounds, depending on the headshot bonus | |||
