M90 Shotgun

The shotgun in Halo 1 was a short to medium range weapon with middling accuracy and real stopping power at short range, capable of one-shot kills for most unshielded targets. Reportedly this weapon is little changed from the first game.

The shotgun cannot be dual-wielded.

The shotgun holds 12 8-guage rounds and is most effective at close range.

BR55 Battle Rifle

The Battle Rifle fires 3-shot bursts in normal mode and single shots while zoomed.

It is widely thought of by some as a combination between Halo 1's too-powerful pistol and too-weak Assault Rifle. The submachine gun, or SMG, is perhaps more comparable to the Assault Rifle.

The Battle Rifle cannot be dual wielded.

The BR55's magazine holds 36 rounds of 9.5mm ammunition. The Halo 2 manual refers to it as a "useful all-around infantry weapon."
