Get a look at 343's redesigns of classic UNSC weapons and catch the debut of an all-new Halo gun.
Misriah Armory has been very busy. As you'll see in 343 Industries' designs and descriptions of some of the guns appearing in Halo 4, the manufacturer has a very lucrative contract with the UNSC. Old favorites like the assault rifle, battle rifle, DMR, and sniper rifle will all be returning. The very last weapon, the railgun, will debut for the very first time in Halo 4.

its the covenant weapons and precursor weapons im looking forward to seeing
Good thing they brought back the older weapons because they were the best.
rAILGUN? hmmmmm
Like the name rail gun
Now I remember why I loved Halo CE when it came out. Aside from bad@ss gaming, the weapons are awesome.
Can't wait to use the rail gun...... looks dangerous.
i do like the fact that all of the weapons are the next series of their respective makes. new model means new ammo counts, different clip size, power and distance could be changed. I like it very much and im going to assume the ARC-920 will be a Pint size mac cannon. Which means few rounds yet overwhelming power. this is probably going to replace the Spartan Laser.
Not saying that I don't love new Halo 4 info and more news on GI........but isn't it time for the next issue?
Come on everybody HAlO 4, YAY! SING A SONG!! YEA!!!
This looks great, I am so looking forward to all the new additions to the game's formula and the extended storyline.
Bring it on, 343!
Mini-MAC!!! My dreams have at long last come true!
So a high speed projectile...
Would the Rail Gun be like a gauss cannon in your hand?
Can I order those on Amazon?
