Some disadvantages to operating the LAAG turret are; the lack of protection to the operator, which makes sniping an effective way to counter them, as well as the weapon's tendency to overheat, which can temporarily render it useless. The lack of accuracy at long distances can also be a significant problem. As with the M41 LAAG from previous games (notably ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', where the mechanic was first implemented), the weapon's tendency to overheat is an overt gameplay mechanic. Gatling weapons are designed to distribute heat evenly among their multiple barrels; indeed, this is the very reason they have multiple barrels, as the long period between when each fires ensures that none receive more than a small heat increase. The gun does not overheat in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' however. | Some disadvantages to operating the LAAG turret are; the lack of protection to the operator, which makes sniping an effective way to counter them, as well as the weapon's tendency to overheat, which can temporarily render it useless.

* In ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', the M46 Vulcan is misidentified as the [[M247H machine gun]] also included in the game, and both can be used to complete multiplayer challenges interchangeably.<ref name="Infinite">''Halo: Infinite'', "Jorge Would Be Proud" [[Challenges/Halo Infinite|challenge]]</ref> | |||
