The | The MA5K is a cut-down version of the standard [[MA5B assault rifle]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HGOOC20|GoO|Chapter=20}} 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]].{{Ref/Novel|HGoO|Detail=Cover art}} Some iterations of the weapon utilise an alternate, more angular body and rail system.{{Ref/Book|HM|Page=134}} | ||

In [[2526#February|February 2526]], MA5Ks were utilised by [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] during their [[Skirmish over Netherop|mission]] to [[Naval boarding|board]] and capture ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'', a [[Covenant frigate]] orbiting [[Netherop]]. During the mission, [[John-117]] ran his MA5K with a [[suppressor]].{{Ref/Novel|HSS|Chapter=2}} This use by [[Spartan]] operatives was continued with the [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-IIIs]], who used the weapon between [[2531]] and [[2552]]—especially during the [[Onyx Conflict]].{{Ref/Reuse| | In [[2526#February|February 2526]], MA5Ks were utilised by [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] during their [[Skirmish over Netherop|mission]] to [[Naval boarding|board]] and capture ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'', a [[Covenant frigate]] orbiting [[Netherop]].

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/ | MA5Ks were used in the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] in [[2560]].
