* 12 rounds/Magazine | |||
* '''''Can Dual-Wield''''' | |||
| A recoil-operated, semi-automatic handgun. Accurate and utilitarian in design, it is the ideal sidearm for a wide variety of USNC troops, packing a strong punch for such a small gun. | |||

* '''''Can Dual-Wield''''' | |||
| Sub-machine Guns, while not accurate over long distances, are particularly effective at close quarters. What this model lacks in accuracy, it makes up for in magazine capacity, with a rather large clip. | |||

| Gas operated, fully-automatic projectile rifle capable of sustained continuous fire. Accurate if used in short, well-aimed bursts and is otherwise ferociously powerful at close range. | |||

| The UNSC's accurate semi-automatic medium-range rifle, fires three rounds per squeeze of the trigger. This particular rifle has a 5x zoom making it ideal for mid-ranged battles. Press {{xbox|R}} to zoom in and out. | |||

| The UNSC's resident close-quarters assault weapon. One shot to your foe's head is likely to take it clean off with a blast from one of these semi-automatic shotguns. | |||

* 4 Rounds/Magazine | |||
| The primary sniper rifle system used by UNSC forces. The clip will leave some to be desired, but the power will not. Equipped with a scope capable of 5x and 10x zoom, great for the long range, incognito, battles. Press {{xbox|R}} to zoom in for 5x, again for 10x and once more to zoom out. | |||

| Equipped with a 5x scope, this Rocket Launcher has a high degree of both destructive force and accuracy. Though it packs a punch, it has the burden of limited rounds before reload as well as a minimal carrying capacity. Use your rockets wisely. | |||

* 5 Shots/Charge | |||
| A directed energy weapon. Its battery conservation scheme requires the user to give its target fair warning during the brief charge lag. A zoomed scope will assist in aiming, but the quickness of the blast will leave many missing their targets anyway, unless truly skilled. However, it is still one of the most powerful portable armaments in the UNSC arsenal. | |||

| This massive handgun is favored by Brutes and is based on their native, pre-Covenant technology. It packs a devastating punch, but is fairly inaccurate at long ranges. The cross-hair display is possibly too large for even some to use in short-range situations. | |||

| [[File:H3-Needler.png|150px]] | |||
* 30 Needles/Caddy | |||
| Razor-sharp crystalline projectiles with a combined explosive property are fired from this elaborate Covenant weapon. The projectiles follow the desired target, like a homing missile, but to a lesser extent. A very destructive weapon when the enemy cannot get away (the needles will track targets, but not from a very long, or very short distance away). | |||

* 6 Rounds/Belt | |||
| This semi-automatic gun launches explosive projectiles pretty accurately at even long ranges. It also has a deadly bayonet equipped under its barrel, which is very dangerous at close quarters. Its only drawback is the limitation of ammo, allowing for only 6 rounds per belt, while only being able to carry 2 extra belts. It can be used to flip light vehicles. | |||

* 18 Shots/Charge | |||
| The Covenant equivalent to the sniper rifle, a hand-carried particle beam weapon, with an adjustable 5–10x scope. Again, no reload required, has a minor drawback of brief pauses from shooting if the gun overheats from a happy trigger. Press {{xbox|R}} to zoom in for 5x, again for 10x and once more to zoom out. | |||

* 10 Hits/Charge | |||
| Favored by Elites, this energy weapon is more dangerous than its ceremonial nature implies. Allows for easy slaying of any foe while also offering a somewhat defensive property if swung at the same time as one is swung in your direction. Only take it out when your enemy is near; you will be shot down if someone spots you from afar. | |||

* 20 Swings/Charge | |||
| Favored by Brutes, this weapon is as much a symbol of leadership as it is a weapon. The brute force behind this weapon allows you to pummel your enemies. Offers a defensive property, allowing you to bat projectiles away with a simple swing. What you miss, the force of gravity caused by the swing is likely to hit. It can actually deflect rockets if timed correctly. | |||

| Highly explosive Covenant grenade. The beauty of these little blue/purple grenades is that they have an adhesive casing, allowing you to stick these directly to your foes. Hopefully they don't notice and run after you before the fuse goes... | |||

''' | ==Support weapons== | ||
Halo 3 introduces the idea of Support weapons, large weapons that require the player to be controlled in third-person view. Players cannot melee, nor throw grenades while using these weapons. A turret is typically activated by pressing {{xbox|RB}}. A Spartan, however, is strong enough to tear off these weapons (press {{xbox|B}} while using the turret) and use them almost like rifles. When detached, these weapons have limited ammunition capacity. | |||

* '''AIE-486H''' | |||
* 200 Rounds/Belt | |||
| A Spartan is easily strong enough to remove, or more accurately, rip a turret-mounted machine gun from its tripod base. Although doing so will detach it from its main ammo feed, a Spartan can use whatever is left attached to the gun to devastating effect. It’s heavy even for a Spartan, and slow to spin up to full firing rate. It's more effective against flesh than shields. | |||

| Great for taking down vehicles quickly. The missiles are equipped with a homing beacon allowing them to change direction in the air to follow their originally intended target. The missiles will also explode after a set amount of time. The enemy will, however, hear a beeping noise when the missile is locked on. | |||
