The Scrap Cannon's name comes from its | The Scrap Cannon's name comes from its construction - unlike more advanced weapons of [[Covenant]] origin which require [[assembler vats]] to build and maintain, the Scrap Cannon can be assembled using relatively simple fabrication techniques and metal pulled from the destroyed remains of [[human]] equipment. These facets have made it a widely deployed weapon particularly for the remote Banished detachment operating on [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} | ||

The Scrap Cannon is fully automatic, and the rate of fire increases the longer the weapon is fired. As with many turreted weapons, it can be detached from its base to be fired from the hip. {{Ref/Reuse|PeekDesign}} The Scrap Cannon is wielded by [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s including [[Tovarus]] and [[Escharum]].{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}} | The Scrap Cannon is fully automatic, and the rate of fire increases the longer the weapon is fired.
