Talk:M247H machine gun

=Jorge's Gun??=

This Heavy Machine Gun sure looks like the Gun that Jorge-052 likes to carry around in Halo Reach. Is it official that this is his "special' gun like could there be some place on this article to talk about his relationship with this Gun?

Good idea, I'll add it in. Alex T Snow 08:29, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Ammunition
Bungie states that it fires the 7.62mm round, but it is classified as a heavy machine gun. Its ammunition box on the side says "12mm HVE". Is this conflicting information, or is it simply the 7.62mm SLAP? Remember, the SLAP round has a 12mm casing, but a 7.62mm bullet.-- Fluffy Emo Penguin ( ice quack! ) 22:08, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Well we don't know it IS that round, but it should go under trivia that one says 7.62mm and the other says 12mm, and that that could mean it fires the 7.62mm SLAP round (or something similar), since it fits the criteria. It seems pretty believable, the UNSC uses sabots in the sniper rifle as well. Oh and if we end up coming to the conclusion that it can only be one and the other is a mistake, it would definitly be a 7.62mm, as it is an M247, and if it fired a different round, a 12mm no less, it would have to be a different weapon, not just a different variant.

If its a heavy machine gun, it would fire .50 up, 12mm is closer to a .50 but inclined to be a .51. but if the box says 12mm then its a .50 cause 7.62 SLAP would really only work well in a chain gun, due to a chain gun firing at a much higher velicoty then the weapon imposed idk. point being 7.62 SLAP in a HMG like the M247H would not have the armor penatration of the AIH 486 due to round velocity
