*In ''Halo PC'' Multiplayer, the weapon's barrel will retract into the weapon when fired. Whether this is the firing mechanism or a recoil compensator is unknown, but the weapon has very little recoil on the hands of the spartan, supporting the latter. | *In ''Halo PC'' Multiplayer, the weapon's barrel will retract into the weapon when fired.

*There is a discrepancy about how much the weapon actually weighs. In ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', [[Corporal]] [[Locklear]] had difficulty lifting the gun when he attempted to shoulder it. However, grunts seem to have no problem hefting the gun around in the games, so whether the situation is between the gun's weight or a comparison of grunts' and marines' strengths is unknown. It is strongly believed however, that grunts are in fact stronger than their size lets on. Also, the model of the fuel rod gun used in ''Halo: CE'' and ''First Strike'' might have been heavier than the most recent variants, or Locklear never expected the thing to be so heavy. | *There is a discrepancy about how much the weapon actually weighs.
