The M8C Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Cannon (M8C G/GNC), sometimes shortened as the M8C nonlinear cannon,[2] and also known as the M8C Laser Cannon,[3] is a nose-mounted heavy laser cannon that is equipped on the G79H Pelican gunship.[4] Given its name and its operation, it likely shares technology with the M6 Spartan Laser.
Production notes
In Halo 4, the HUD element for the M8C uses the M6 Spartan Laser aiming reticule. The laser also fires incorrectly from the adjacent GAU-53 70mm rotary cannon rather than the M8C cannon's weapon model.[1]
