M90s are some of the best pieces of kit the UNSC ever issued, hands down. Dual-tube models were maintenance queens- friggin' little fiddly bits in the feed liked to break in any environment outside ship corridors, but the extra six shots of eight-gauge without a reload is a lifesaver when you got swarms of covenant boarding parties, or god forbid, Flood, trying to get through a chokepoint. The SMGs were next to useless for anything but soft targets, though- but I won't complain too much about the damn things when they're good for sweeping through the little bastards they usually send first. I hope Ian gets around to covering that monster they called a pistol. The M6D was advertised as an officer's model, but those things were issued to everyone and their mother during the last years of the war, if they weren't issued the peashooter M6Cs instead. Also, lotta those post-war 'documentaries' aren't very authentic about how a SAP-HE round can blow someone's arm off at the shoulder.

I mean, 7.62 x 51 NATO is the standard rifle cartridge. That bullet has been working hard for six hundred and fifty years. Pretty sure there's some units that still use 7.62 x 54 R as well, so bump that up to 700 years. Plus there were Innies that were making effective use of AKMs. Like Ian said, physics ain't changed one bit. Kinda makes you wonder why the Covvies even bothered wasting money on fancy-pants energy weapon nonsense.

Ah the memories this brings back. I was just out of bootcamp and stationed in east africa during mid 2552 when the Covenant hit. We had to scramble to evac the wounded from the outpost after rigging the facility to blow and I was pulling security with this bad boy. Right before I embarked on the outbound pelican I remember the Chief tapping my shoulder and without saying a word he handed me an MA5C before taking my shotgun. I was sorta relieved because I was way more qualified on that weapon over the shotgun, little did I know the mag was almost empty and I got my ass chewed by PLTSG for losing the weapon I was issued. Good times

After our mission that Spartan had disappeared and our whole squad was confused, except sergeant who forgot about the Spartan and proceeded to rip me a new one. He may of been an old Hungarian bastard, but he was a damn good sergeant. On the bright side that Spartan is the reason I discovered my favorite weapon, the M396 DMR.

I have never been given such a Christmas gift and likely never will again. The accuracy to the lore and story I got to be added to is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. While my time at Misriah was short I still hoped the efforts made might do some good. I got called back to jumping feet first into hell, I guess it was where I belonged. I’ve thought about that prototype a lot since then. It was juvenile glee to begin, total obsession to finish, and agonizing revisions to the end. The CAWS program became a bigger foe than the covenant. Swimming in the deep end with stimmed engineers and bumping shoulders with efficiency AI… jumpin’s a lot easier… you wouldn’t see me smile till they fielded the production M90.

Unfortunately for me, I had to hand it over to the Arbiter in exchange for an M6. I wasn’t happy about it, especially considering what his kind had done to us for the past however many years… But I didn’t really have a choice. Desperate times and all that. But since the entire arms room and base were blown up afterwards, I was never issued a statement of charges by my armorer. I guess I lucked out.

I have always been fond of these, but you have to be careful to check the bore before you take one out on patrol. I've come across many examples where the choke was so worn that the shot spread was more than I'd thought could be physically possible. I seen this primarily on old early and pre-war examples that were being stockpiled on many worlds (including Earth and Reach) for refurbishment but got mixed up in the main supply chain in the chaos that prevailed just before (and certainly after) the Fall of Reach. I suspect worn out barrels also made it into the parts supply around this time as well since I've seen guns that looked to be in great shape externally shoot pellets in patterns that were barely useful outside bad breath distances. Sometimes I wonder if this wasn't an accident at all, but yet another attempt by ONI at psychological conditioning, specifically to encourage troops to close distance with the enemy and [MESSAGE QUARENTINED BY ORDER OF THE OFFICE OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE UNDER UEG CODE 5-138311.132]

From what I heard there were a few cases of the Army recieving shotguns that were meant for Marine or Navy armories, and thus the choke was set wide for boarding action. The Army's armourers were either too busy restoring mothballed weapons or just didn't have the combat experience to know. Not blaming them, most were reservists or concripts well past their prime.

Back in ‘48, the local meridian colonial reserve unit and my army company raided a police departments armoury for weapons. We were near a coastal town named brume-sur-Mer, and at the time our supply line was effectively destroyed. Best we could get was MREs and water, maybe some ammo, like a box or two of 7.62. Very dire situation. Anyway, we found within the armoury some M7s, a couple M392s, 3 MA5Cs (we were issued MA37s, so at best we gained more mags and ammo but the barrels weren’t interchangeable on the account of the 5c having a thicker and heavier barrel.) and like 10 M90s. These we LE variants so they were 12gauge. Now, if we were hunting deer, I’d have been a happy man, but deer don’t have 4 chins and energy shielding. Normally with an 8 gauge, it’d take like 2-3 shells to down a hinge head. 1st shell to burst the shielding, second and/or third to put the sorry bastard down. But with the 12g, it took at least an extra shell, and as we quickly found out, that additional second to rack that extra shell was normally when the sangheili got its bearing back and returned fire. Now don’t get me wrong, anything that wasn’t a brute or split lip, 12g did just fine. But just fine doesn’t cut it when the entity in-which you’re engaging is 8ft tall and very angry that you just shot him. The 8g did wonders for us 2 years later though. When the covvies came back my unit was tasked at one point to clear out a sewer system in one of the major cities. The M90 was wonderful in that operation. 8g alongside a flamethrower and an autorifleman was beautiful to watch in action. We’d find a nesting area and burn it down whilst plugging any ingress and egress points for buggers to swarm us. Didn’t do too bad topside either in the alleyways and crosswalks. With short sight lines and shorter engagement distances, the ability to put up a wall of hot tungsten pellets was unmatched.

My favorite fun fact about the sight systems on these military long guns is that often the "lit" sights you see in media - wether it be from recruiting drives or just typical footage from the fronts - are actually almost all completely black or un-lit white to the naked eye. It depends on the particular weapon and even individual variants (especially swapped customized by the user), but generally those points don't appear reflective at all in the normal visual spectrum. Rather, integrated HUD systems can track them using their sensors and essentially overlay the colour on them. On some weapons, they are also used like landmarks to help integrated HUD systems that have zoom and aim reticle auto-overlay. Naturally, many civilian versions just have regular lit or reflective coloured sights. If you are ever looking at combat footage and you see one of these guns seemingly with super bright lights but notice the area around the light on the gun isn't reflecting any - that's why. It isn't *actually* a bright light there. It doesn't help that media tends to add in the lights in post when they have footage where it isn't picked up by the recording cameras, to make it look "right" rather than keep it real.

Ergonomically, top loading worked out a lot better in full kit imo. In prone, on the run, in the hog (yes you'd think people would use the rifle in that case but I've seen it!) Also note that a lot of these ergonomic choices revolved around compatibility with more furnished armor systems like for ODST and Spartans. Hence, trigger guard, pump, and controls might seem needlessly enlarged, but it comes in handy for winter gear, power armor, and also if you're a 7ft tall science project. I didn't really mind, but some of our shorter guys straight up looked like children holding these haha.

I actually heard that it was pretty preferred to literally 'ride shotgun' with these in most Warthogs. IIRC, the thought process was while the unarmed transport hogs usually would have usual infantry with rifles, any hog with a weapons system would be extremely able to take care of anything at range, but was vunerable to boarding and close-range opponents, hence the use of shotguns, especially to maximize hit probability since you're likely traveling pretty fast. I know at least one dude who swore that 'riding shotgun' with these saved his life and the lives of his soldiers on multiple occasions, to the point where he took it as his weapon of choice almost always. Though to be honest, I'm not totally sure the accuracy of that since I heard rumors he had never actually served, and he tried to convince me that he was involved with Freelancers. Come to think of it, he never gave me his name, just kept giving his rank of Sargeant.

My father served as an ODST for many years before retiring (surprisingly), and he said his favorite style of the shotgun was the M90 CAWS, due to its fairly long range, good spread, and high ammo capacity made it excellent for close quarters combat that my dad saw while dropping into combat zones. Of course he preferred the M392 for most other purposes

E2-BAG/1/7 here (never forget eridanus II), lots of guys already said that the best weapons for use against hingeheads and gas-suckers were the MA5B, some guys were a little weird and said they liked the MA5K, but in my honest opinion, nothing beats seeing the sheer "oh no, i just got wrecked" look of surprise on a hingehead's face when you blast him with the good ol' M90. I saw some mad-lad stick a bayonet on his before, you should've SEEN how the Grunts would run when he charged in!

Those big shells can have quite the recoil if you aren't ready for it. So handing one to a Ruthian Kig-Yar at a scrap deal at post war grey market salvage swap meet led to the bird losing a bet and buying a round for everyone. Birdy got knocked flat on his rear,whole yard was laughing at him untill we realized he dislocated his shoulder. As much as we hate that bird,taking apart knocked out wraiths without someone that knows the internals is a good way to set off any left over plasma reserves.

I remember back when I wwas just an E-3 during the battle of New Mombasa, this weapon saved my life. We were stuck in a building that collapsed from a plasma mortar and my BR55 was crushed under some debris. I could hear the warbles from a squad of Jackals right outside the collapsed room I was in, and frantically looking for a weapon, I found an M90 in the arms of another fallen Marine. The jackals entered the room and I was able to nail 3 of them, knocking the 4th one on his back when I hit his shield. While he was stunned, I put lead into the last Jackal and was able to search the rubble for survivors of my squad. My fireteam was KIA, but I kept searching and saw another team being pinned down by some grunts. Ever see what 8 Gauge does to a methane tank? It's like the 4th of July. I got with the remnants of that fireteam, CASEVAC'ed the wounded and was able to link up with the rest of the platoon. Crazy to think we'd be ash if it wasn't for the M90. I even bought one for personal use that I keep in my house on base, though it's got a little too much kick for the wife and the kids are too young for it rn.

i was lucky enough to meet the master chief himself in kenya near the end of the battle of earth. I had an M90 with me at the time, i'd been issued it for the months that I was deployed at our command center there. It really came in handy during combat in close urban environments, especially when the command center itself was attacked. I met the chief in the middle of a firefight when he jumped over to my cover position from atop three stacked crates and a fusion coil, nearly flipping the several ton barricade i was hiding behind, and asked to trade weapons with me. He gave me a covenant plasma pistol in return and I never saw that shotgun again. Had a hell of a time explaining to my sergeant why I no longer had my issued weapon, i don't think she would've believed me if the chief hadn't "borrowed" our squad's rocket launcher too. (jokes aside, i love these sci-fi firearm vids you do. always a nice surprise to see from time to time!)

I remember evacuating out of that area. I remember freaking out when I was approaching a UNSC position and plasma fire started coming out of it. Turns out the Chief “appropriated” their weapons and gave them the dead Covenant soldiers’ weapons. At least one of the Marines had a fun time- the Chief gave him a nearly depleted fuel rod cannon, but they found a stockpile of ammo on a dead Grunt’s body not too far away.

When I was a Corporal in the Marines, I had a Staff Sergeant who obsessed over the M90. I was apart of the reactivated 101st Airborne Division, 426th Brigade. When the Covies invaded Earth back in 2552, we got shipped out to New Mombasa. We got shot down by Covenant purple planes over Old Mombasa just a few clicks from where we were to deploy. Our mission was to setup checkpoints and get civilians out. As the vanguard for the rest of the UNSC, we got some of the heaviest weapons since we were gonna make first ground contact with the enemy. Miraculously we didn’t have too many injured, just a few bumps and bruises from the pelican crash. Staff Sergeant McKenzie (God rest his soul) got us to a Kikowani Subway Station where we figured out a bunch of civs were hiding. We got orders from command shortly after to hold the station at all costs. Our unit had a ton of CQC weapons with us since we were due for heavy urban combat. McKenzie had the best tho with that M90. Any Covies that tried getting into the station got absolutely pummeled by him. He’d tap his foot and bait them inside before blasting their heads clean off, shields or not. We kept baiting them for what felt like hours. Had to run a ton of errands to get ammo from our crashed Pelican. Eventually some heavy armor boys broke through the Covie lines. We managed to get a proper checkpoint setup and held until that Carrier slipspaced in atmosphere (as a farm boy I’ve never been off world so seeing that teleport was quite a sight). That thing caused the whole city to rattle and because Old Mombasa ain’t up to par with the rest of the cities, a lot of the structures didn’t hold as well against the explosion (on top of all the fighting they had received prior). Staff Sergeant McKenzie was killed when a piece of rebar speared him right through the eye. Even in his moment of death, he did not drop that M90. Thank you Ian for covering the history of this beautiful piece. Or as McKenzie would say “this stuff is your history, son! Respect it and it’ll respect you!”

I can't say for sure, but in my opinion, reloading from the bottom is just faster (the hand has to travel a shorter distance from the load bearing vest to the loading gate). Plus, when you are loading a cartridge into the magazine from the top, you are blocking the sight with your hand, which is also not very good.
