== | The '''M202 XP machine gun''' is a type of machine gun utilized by the [[UNSC]]. It is used in automated stationary gun turrets.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 93''</ref> Common in the early years of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the weapon had become obsolete in the field by [[2541]]; however, it still found use in training exercises, such as those of the [[Spartan-III]]s. They fire [[stun round]]s for training and can fire live rounds if needed.<ref name="Enc331">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 331''</ref> | ||

The | The automated stationary gun used in the training of Spartan-IIIs has a minimum angle of fire; a person can stay out of the cone of fire to avoid getting shot.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc331}} Their tracking speed is limited, as the Spartan-IIIs were able to stay well ahead of its line of fire. They are secured to a platform by securing bolts. On the platform, the gun is hooked up by wires to: a radar array that uses radar to target, a power supply that powers the turret, and an automated fire control. They can also be disassembled and be used manually, like a normal gun. For example, this was done in the Spartan-IIIs' training to combat the trainers with more than their bare hands. | ||
The UNSC also had M202s mounted in automated [[base turret|base defense turrets]] during the early stages of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. The platforms had three M202XP MGs mounted, and they were more sophisticated than those used in the training of Spartan-IIIs, allowing for a larger field of fire.<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/UNSC.aspx ''Official Halo Wars Community Site'': UNSC] (defunct, [[Archive:Halowars.com/UNSC|Archived]])</ref> | |||
