M247H machine gun

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Template:Ratings Template:New Content Template:Weapon Infobox The M247H Heavy Machine Gun, abbreviated M247H HMG, is a heavy weapon used extensively by the United Nations Space Command ground forces.[1] This weapon is one of many variants of the widely used M247 General Purpose Machine Gun.

Design details

The M247H is an air-cooled, gas-operated, electrically fired, linkless-fed weapon. It can be used in both anti-personnel and anti-vehicle roles.[1] It is most often seen mounted on stationary tripods and used as a defensive weapon, but can also be carried by those strong enough to efficiently operate it. The M247H is also mounted on both sides of most UH-144 Falcons.

Like many other heavy support weapons used by the UNSC, the M247H is fitted with metal shield plating near the rear end of its barrel to protect the user. Some versions, including the one mounted on the Falcon, lack this feature.
