*Miranda Keyes is seen dual-wielding a Shotgun and a Magnum in the third to last cinematic on The Covenant in ''[[Halo 3]]''. This is not possible during any of the games and is rather useless, as after the first shot, the shotgun would need to be pumped again, and this cannot happen unless the other weapon is dropped. Though, due to the games boundaries, it could be possible to still hold the Magnum Pistol in one and still pump the Shotgun with both hands. This also seems quite difficult as the shotgun is a large 8-gauge and Miranda Keyes does not seem to possess advanced strength, so the weight and recoil should be a near impossible strain to use, although it is possible that this shotgun has reduced weight and recoil.

However, she never actually fired it, and given the current situation may have simply been meaning it for intimidation.
*Even though the Elites dual-wielded their weapons in Halo 2 and Halo 3, Brutes never dual-wield in Halo 2 or in Halo 3.
*Miranda is also seen dual-wielding and firing SMGs in ''Halo 2'', a feat even Marines can not accomplish. Additionally she doesn't seem to be affected by the recoil.
