There is literally no use in the early REQs before level 3. They can all be out-shot by the magnum (with the exception of the Storm Rifle at extreme close range) and even the AR with it’s longshot scope is totally worthless. The fact that we have a DMR-level weapon at start is rediculous. The only difference between the two is that the DMR has a scope and an extra 3 rounds. The magnum needs a major accuracy nerf. The Reach magnum before 343i got a hold of the game had it perfect with that wide accuracy bloom for firing too fast. There is literally no reason a magnum should out-shoot a damn Carbine at any distance or even any of the other so-called “power weapons”. And they wonder why these weapons never get used? It’s because they’re absolutely worthless! Bumping them down in REQ level is not going to help when the magnum is the most superior weapon up until level 3 where you get the BR and much better weapons.
extended clip magnum is level 2
The carbine and warthog come to mind.

Which is another reason why none of these weapons will see the light of day.

It no lie adds like 4 bullets I think.
To OP, the new storm rifle variants are actually really good. Fury by far. takes longer to over heat and coolsdown near instantly.
I’m pretty sure the Magnum has the slowest ttk of all precision weapons, least red reticle range, and least bullet magnetism. I personally think the Halo 5 Magnum is perfect the way it is. That’s pretty much the only weapon I can say that about.
