: Well, there are full moon and half moon clips for revolvers that would make

Interesting. This all makes sense. But I think we’ve established that Bungie did not do weapon research, so they surely wouldn’t have known this when deciding to make the revolver load like a semiautomatic.

: An even odder thingy with the manual pic of the M2-Infinity pistol, is that
: the scope looks to be attached to the barrel rather than to the slide or
: the frame.

We really don’t get a good look at the design of these pistols. Perhaps the slide is slit on top in such a way to pass by the scope when fired?

: It's not typical to
: have both laser sight and scope simultaneously as they are independent
: sighting mechanisms but it's a possibility. My guess is that if it is the
: scope-less M1 revolver shown in the manual it is probably a laser sight.
: If it is the scoped M1 revolver in the game, it's probably a flashlight.
: But it's anybodies guess, don't you think?

Well I have two “aiming” devices on my telescope: a finder scope and a reflex site. Both are useful depending on the situation. What if the marine wanted to shoot from the hip?

But I actually believe it’s a flashlight. The Marine certainly has a flashlight of some sort because its always on and you can tell in dark areas. Maybe its on his suit but it could also be on his weapons. I think its more tactically useful to have flashlights on weapons because it shines where the enemy is and a helmet “mining light” would likely attract too many headshots.
