What is the most effective assault rifle?
"Kalashnikov AK-47 AKM Assault Rifle" Is the most effective assault rifle yet invented, of course, there are many versions of this rifle, but it is powerful, cheap, deadly, and pretty much accurate on an assault-range. ^^^ Wrong.... wrong on so many levels. The AK47 and AKM are two different rifles. The AKM is an improved version. And its main weakness is that it fires that terrible 7.62 round... The AK74 is a completely superior gun. More accurate, better ballistics with the 5.45 round, less recoil, lighter etc.

How do you be good at halo 4?
For campaign use a plasma pistol and any rifle that can deliver headshots, (battle rifle, light rifle, carbine, dmr, etc.)For online gameplay make sure you check corners and keep your senses about you. I recommend three classes. All should havePromethean vision, but the main weapons should be a battle rifle, dmr, and an assault rifle . Hope I helped!
