The operator sits in a bucket-seat and they generally provide ground support cover during deployment and exfiltration of military personnel. The weapon is also useful for flanking lines of fire from the Pelican's blind spots. Controlled by a [[Spartan]], the flank gun may be used to combat enemy aircraft high above a planet's surface, and can even be used in rare exoatmospheric scenarios. | ==Background== | ||
The M410 is commonly fixed to the main fuselage of the [[G79H-TC Pelican|Gunship 79 Heavy Troop Carrier/Mobile Armory]], the gunship variant of the [[D79-TC Pelican]]. It fires 40mm gas-jacketed, [[depleted uranium]] rounds. These can be used to tear through enemy infantry and vehicles alike, no matter the environmental conditions.<ref name="H4EVG"/> | |||
