The '''70mm chain gun''' is an anti-personnel/anti-vehicle weapon mounted below the nose of some [[D77-TC Pelican]] [[dropship]]s. The gun is linked to the movements of the pilot's head, which allows for very short delays between spotting enemies and firing; the turret can rotate up to 120 degrees to wherever the pilot is looking. The turret can also be operated by a copilot, or manually by a gunner.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 39''</ref> The weapon seemingly replaced the [[40mm chain gun]] that was common prior to [[2525]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 92'' "John sized up her armaments - dented and charred armor, a pair of old, out-of-date 40mm chain guns."</ref> | The '''70mm chain gun''' is an anti-personnel/anti-vehicle weapon mounted below the nose of some [[D77-TC Pelican]] [[dropship]]s.
