Halo 2 something interesting

ok prepare for a long story...
I was watching the Halo 2 e3 vid and noticed a couple of things:
The cheif shoots a lot with the battle rifle and I got an estimate of how much ammo it would have in a magazine; now in the beginning he shoots around 22 times and reloads after a while. now that "reload" was chosen to do by the player because he didn't automatically reload after firing.
so in other words it has more then 20 bullets for sure. Now after the reload u r given the SMG. After u get it MC pulls out 2 SMGs which means that he had that weapon to start with, like the Battle Rifle. He shoots around with those for a bit and gets to a part with the jackals all lined up(when the hogs' mow them down) he pulls out the Battle Rifle...now he has 3 guns: 2 SMGs and a Battle Rifle. Unless he swapped an SMG for it i don't know cause it wasn't on the ground. Then later at the ghost part he pulls both of them out once again. So its proven that he has 3 guns. Once he gets out of the hog' he fires the Battle Rifle about 49 times WITHOUT reloading.
So knowing this we can conclude that:
A) MC can carry 2 of the same gun and 1 other gun
B) The Battle Rifle has 50 or more shots in the magazine
C) HALO 2 will rule my life for years even if my guess is totally wrong

i never heard of the 2 of the same gun and another before.. all i heard was that u could use your 2 guns at the same time, like the needler-pistol or SMG-SMG didn't know u could have SMG-SMG then just change to another weapon

I always just assumed that cuz there was no hud, the whole ammo/weap limit thing hadn't been incorporated into it

i agree, he has no health and hud so i believe he had infinite amount of ammo and didnt need to reload but most likly just wanted to to show off the animation, same with the smgs
