The Halo assault rifle has had a difficult time earning respect. It be totally outshined by the pistol in Halo: CE, ditched entirely for Halo 2 'n brought back again in Halo 3 -- only t' lose the spotlight t' the battle rifle. Now, thanks t' a creative Halo fan, the assault rifle has been brought t' life ... 'n completely nerfed. (Like, it be actually a Nerf gun -- pillage it?)

Taking a stock Nerf rifle 'n an "infamous knock off dollar store assault rifle," a modder known as Moz cobbled together this Halo assault rifle, adding custom pieces 'n paint. The best part: It actually works; albeit with a slightly lower rate a fire than an actual assault rifle. See it in action after the break.
