MA2B Assault Rifle

The MA2B Assault Rifle is a stripped down variant of the popular MA5B Assault Rifle. Equiped with electronic targetting, an ammo counter, recoil reductions systems, and an optional silencer, the MA2B is a versatile and useful weapon. These weapons were popular during the early days of the human covenant war, as well as a time beforehand, but by the time of the SPARTAN-IIIs, they had been all but phased out by the MA5K Assault Carbine. The MA2B was sometimes equiped with a 2x magnification scope, but this was rare, and few versions had this.
