The fellows over at Halowar have put together an impressive listing of known weapons from the number of Halo movies and screenshots. Of particular note are the collection of screenshots offered with each weapon, which give you a fairly good idea of what they're talking about. Still, some of the specific stats are still by no means certain, so don't take it as the one tru7h.
Kudos to Bravehamster, who has taken steps to aid the bandwidth impoverished among us. Shamelessly cut and pasted from RHL's news:
