Halo's Computer Assisted Guns Might Become A Reality
A pair of real-world firearm parts manufacturers are working to bring some of the futuristic elements of Halo's guns into reality. Microsoft and 343 Industries’ long-running sci-fi FPS series has been home to several high-concept weapons over the years, from powerful sniper rifles that can strike down an enemy in a single shot to intense laser beams.

These features seem like they would be forever trapped in the realm of gaming and science fiction, but a couple of companies are currently working on a new weapon mod that could make some of the high-tech functionally of Halo’s weapons a reality.
