Halo Evolutions 45

The Shipmaster collected the carbine, now covered in the Jackal's dark blood, from the ground
where it had fallen and checked the remaining ammunition. Only one shot remained, but it was good to have a real weapon in his hands again. He did not have time to scavenge the corpse for a replacement magazine, as the two on the other side would likely soon call or regroup. He had to act now.

When he heard them take their next shots he
launched around the corner, firing his single round through the back of the nearer Jackal's plumed head. Bits of bone and meat and blood sprayed all over his fellow, who turned with a loud squawk and a weapon lowered in surprise.-Chpt.14 pg.510
