Commando | The Armory

[@jimmycregg6248]

Hey Installation 00 now you have the “scattershot,” “suppressor,” “disruptor,” and the “spike grenade” left and also when is the “orbital defense platform most-detailed breakdown” gonna be out and “jiralhanae autopsy” and would you also cover more “covenant vehicles” and “blamite crystals” as well.

[@tristanbackup2536]

I'm still waiting for his insane detail breakdown of T800s from Terminator. His expertise in engineering & material science would do wonders.

[@madness0169]

I love using both the Commando and Impact Commando in the campaign of *Halo: Infinite.* They're really good in terms of feel and sound design while firing.

[@jjdg88]

Am I the only one when first finding the Commando in Infinite that thought "Wow this looks very similar to the R-101C Carbine from Titanfall."

[@orange_turtle3412]

It definitely looks more like a titanfall weapon than a halo weapon.

[@ja0298]

In the mid 2500’s we still have thumb breaker reciprocating charging handles. Amazing.

[@mattmc9812]

Hey if it ain't broke then why fix it

[@ja0298]

@@mattmc9812 762x51 good enough for great great grandpappy, its good enough for me - UNSC Marine, probably

[@Psychoewe320]

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THE COMMANDO AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE FOR SO LONGG!

[@elchjol2777]

VK-78 aka the grunt,jackal and skimmer broom. If it has no shields, pop and drop em.

[@Reinhard96]

There is a 6.5×47mm Lapua that seems even closer to the in-game spec than the Creedmoor.

[@Rebel9078-y5o]

The Commando has one the the best reload animations imo

[@Zenlore6499]

A solid piece of tech for a variety of cases. A nice jack of all trades in combat!

[@Dorian_Kellum]

Love how the community has fallen in love with this gun. One of the better 343 era designs

[@Arkancide]

Huzzah! He finally covered the Commando!

[@Nrex117]

New year new armament

[@grantlauzon5237]

I find it to be the most ammo efficient weapon in the infinite sandbox. Unlike the BR you can take out a grunt with one* bullet and banished enemies often have the commando to replenish ammo which is something that the AR, BR, and SideKick don't have. It's not great DPS wise, but it will do the job for a long time.

[@Reyma777]

The Commando has always reminded of a SCAR and Browning AR for some reason.

[@PackHunter117]

IMO the Commando should’ve had the ammo counter under the optic and default black/grey skin

[@I-Minecraft-428]

I love this gun, I'm not great with it but I love it.❤

[@goldenguardian8753]

You know, when this gun first came out I hated it cause it didn't look "Halo" enough. But its very much grown on me over the years

[@IonLaras]

These weapon guides are the reasons I get out of bed on wednesdays

[@East_Coast_Toasty_Boy]

Only wednesdays???

[@LMG1792]

I actually really like this weapon. Thank you sir for the video.

[@MikeConder]

Oh hey I recognize that hand and Commando. :3

[@Installation00]

I may have gratuitously thrown in a little Foam Forge Hand porn.

[@CommanderDevissCT-]

Commando is my favorite rifle on Halo. My second is the BR for obvious reasons

[@MyWifeLovesTheJets]

One of if not my favorite halo guns

[@sakbig9760]

Im not gunna lie I'd like to think of it as the space BAR sometimes 😅

[@AxisChurchDevotee]

Will the armory ever go to weapons from stuff like the alien series? The colonial Marines are pretty well equipped. Smartgun in particular is pretty crazy.

[@SpaceWraith131]

Seeing a non bullpup rifle in halo just seems wrong

[@n8dogue]

Seeing a full pic rail on a Halo gun feels odd as well. Not to mention the stock that's simultaneously fixed and adjustable...

[@SpaceWraith131]

@n8dogue very true. Seems a little redundant with the integrated tech that exist in the 26th century. But i think it's an older design too.

[@HaydenG230]

Hey what’s the source of the stills from 3:29-3:41? Thanks

[@Wint910]

Does anyone know where you can get the specs for the size of the ma5b assault rifles magazines? I have a good way of explaining how the ce varient held 60 7.62x51 rounds but cannot find the correct scale

[@jasonchristensenjr.6237]

Love the commando

[@rafaelrasillo7356]

I do actually happen to like this weapon. There are something I do miss about the DMR from 5 though.

[@mattmc9812]

Its a great weapon

[@A_Wüten]

Commando go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@tehuselessguig3138]

still trying to get a Perfect with it for the achievement...

[@AngyStormz]

I wish we could customize our weapons...

[@bladester0128]

Prefer the DMR/Bandit but if used properly the Commando is a decent weapon

[@winSonoma]

I’m noticing a lot of display lag, in the form of glitchy lines in the video.

[@Installation00]

Yes. This was recorded a while ago before my PC upgrade. New PC, better raw footage capture. I apologise for the momentary drop in finish quality.

[@drakoslayd]

Last time I was this early Earth was partially glassed because of the flood

[@victorpapaavp]

I play Infinite on PC, and I have a fast index finger... It took me 3 months of playing after release to realize that this weapon was in fact full auto...

[@terranempire2]

Is this life imitating art or art imitating life? I say that because this is chambered in 6.5x48mm for the gun bunny among us that is 6.5mm Creedmoor. A caliber being adopted by US SOCOM. The doctrine and concept of the Commando also mirrors the U.S. XM7 and NGSW in terms of bridging assault rifles and DMR rifles. So did the DOD follow Halo in conception of the NGSW or did Halo follow SOCOM in adopting rifles chambered in 6.5 cm?

[@TonerLow]

Creedmore is even being banned in some militaries because its effective range is potentially beyond ethical use cases and training ranges. I'm a .308 stan, but 6.5 has range and is unshaken by wind.

[@grantlauzon5237]

Hard to say. I think 343 esports/sandbox team wanted a weapon like AK47 from counter strike, but it didn't stick. I think it's art imitating life because caliber sizes don't make any sense when compared to other guns in the halo sandbox. The AR in most games is a 16 body shot kill and the DMR is an 8 body shot kill, but they both fire 7.62 NATO. The Sidekick fires a 10mm round but the in game model has a barrel wider than the magnum in previous games.

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

​@TonerLow How is there an ethical range to shoot at in war? Serious question: Is there some treaty that says you can only have infantry weapons capable of hitting targets up to a given distance? If so, why?

[@dylangregory9153]

Can you do the stalker rifle please!

[@Ptaaruonn]

Nabbed the Commando!!

[@seansjsorensen]

Kinda makes me wonder if the caliber is loosely based on the real world 6.5 Grendel.

[@nighthawk8104]

Its more like the 6.5 Creedmoor, i have one and the Case length of it is 48.7mm

[@salinsoulok3338]

So this takes 6.5 creedmoor

[@The7DirtyWords]

oooooo never this early, by the rings!

[@Outlaw_Deadman1996]

Kriss but BIG

[@dogevanzandt2889]

I love Halo but pretty much none of the weapons make sense in terms of caliber, employment, logisitcs...all of it. The 6.5 chambering of this weapon system makes a lot more sense than m80 ball for a standard issue service weapon 500 years into the future. I've thought up more than a few redesigns for the weapons and I just headcanon a lot of stuff when I'm reading/playing.

[@MrSwccguy]

The Commando should have the standard issue not that pos bullpup

[@hardcase8003]

The despicable disrespect! It's sad

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

Make the Commando bullpup, and maybe. Honestly the rails really make it look not Halo, but the bigger thing is it being a non-bullpup human rifle in Halo.

[@Nathan-vt1jz]

It’s not a bullpup design, thus being favored by Americans and having a high quality trigger. Maybe someone will eventually make a bullpup trigger that is not utterly horrible, but… I’ve yet to hear of one.

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

I'm not a gun nut or anything, but maybe some sort of electronic fire control could work. You pull the trigger, it sends a signal through a wire to a fire mechanism in the bullpup position, and there's a basic control system that activates the firing pin when a signal is received. Issues with this would probably be electrical surges, EMPs, and batteries. The system may interpret any electrical activity as a fire command, causing accidental firing. This could probably be handled by having the trigger mechanism send a more specific signal than just electricity. EMP could burn out the electronics, turning your weapon into a brick. I imagine these electronics could be shielded. Finally, batteries. As for Halo, it's pretty well handled. For us, I imagine this theoretical system could be powered by one or two AAA or AA batteries. Problem here is logistics and weight. Batteries are heavy, and adding batteries means having to transport more stuff for even just a basic infantryman.

[@Nathan-vt1jz]

@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystemI like the advantages of bullpup rifles, but the trigger issue really is a major problem. Electric triggers could definitely work, but it means adding complexity and additional potential points of failure. The standardized inclusion of powered optics might make this more feasible. Perhaps a pneumatic trigger system could work, but that adds complexity as well.

[@Grunt0066]

damn 50 seconds ago. im early lol

I can't read. Also first.
