Anyone else think this might be the reincarnation of the WPAS Minigun from the E3 1999 Halo build? (See lower half of [http://web.archive.org/web/20041227153214/http://nikon.bungie.org/pressscans/pcxl.0500/pcxl.0500.p3.jpg this].) [[User:Andrew Nagy|Andrew Nagy]] 04:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
*Definitely. Bungie have been itching to put it in a game, and thank god they did! I have got killing sprees with this thing, and i'm not ''that'' good  aplayer, but it feels like so much fun shredding enemies! Cheers Bungie! I salute you!

I had to remove the bit in the article about the AIE-486H replacing the Warthog's LAAG. Despite the similarity of both weapons, Frankie's [http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BAGwarthog article on the Warthog] states that it still uses the M41 LAAG.

== Believability as a Squad Automatic Weapon==

While watching ''Shootout!'' on the History Channel this morning, during an Iwo Jima special, I saw a modified Browning M1919 machine gun - used as a tailgun on American divebombers - modified into a squad automatic weapon (SAW).  Called the "Stinger", it featured the trigger system from an M1 Garand and the bipod of a Browning Automatic Rifle. It could be lugged around and fired from the hip with a rate of fire of ~1,300 rounds per minute! One Marine killed around twenty Japanese soldiers with the weapon (unaided) in one day. Of course, Iwo Jima was also the most notable WWII battle in which flamethrowers were used in combat (take ''that'' Hellbringer detractors!) --[[User:Braidenvl|Braidenvl]] 17:44, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

SAW's are light weapons that can project tremendous amounts of accurate suppressing fire, not a weapon that requires a team of two men to succesfully operate and must be 'deployed' before operation. Thats a Heavy Machine Gun. HMG does not equal SAW. At all. [[User:Ajax 013|Ajax 013]] 12:11, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I see your point, but I was referring to the way [[Jiralhanae|some]] [[Sangheili|tough]] [[SPARTAN-II|guys]] can rip the weapon off its hinges and lug it around for fairly accurate suppressing fire, often for a whole squad of marines. To them, it could be considered a somewhat light (in terms of weight, not caliber) weapon. Thus, I meant one may informally treat an unhinged AIE-486 as an SAW in a Spartan's hands. But, this is fairly pointless - I've made my case. --[[User:Braidenvl|Braidenvl]] 13:11, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Actualy the "Heavy" bit is inacurrate. it uses 7.62x51mm NATO rounds which would actualy be a medium machine gun (like the old GPMG from Halo 2) though it could refering to its wieght. Is it man portable? as in, can a lone amarine carry it?(carry and deploy not carry and fire) if so then it is definitly a medium.(a point i added to the artice but seams to have been removed)

== 9.5 ==

When was it decided that this thing uses the 9.5mm ammo of the BR? The container in game meant for storing the weapon even says 7.62mm on it. If someone has a good reason please tell me, as I am going to remove this for now. [[User talk:Diaboy|Diaboy]] 00:47, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

The container in the game also labels the weapon as an M247 machine gun and gives it a packing weight of 983 pounds, which is heavier than a 20mm Vulcan cannon.

== Conflicting Info ==
This article states that the AIE-486H machine gun is more powerful than the M247 GP machine gun, which is found in Halo 2. However, the M247 GP article says, under the Trivia section, that the M247 GP is more powerful than the AIE-486H.

::Ok[[User talk:Papayaking|Papayaking]] 01:42, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

There has been multiple footages showing ODSTs wielding the turret in the campaign. This ofcourse is conflicting stuff as ODSTs are not as strong as Spartans. Beats me why Bungie decided to ignore such a part of the Halo Universe canon.

:Who says the ODSTs ripped the turrets off? Carrying a turret may require less strength than violently and rapidly tearing it off of its base. Furthermore, the ODSTs are in a city that was blown apart by a massive shock wave during a big Covie-Human battle, so I'm willing to bet that a few turrets got ripped off the base by the shock wave. The ODSTs could also use explosives or something to break the turrets -- works in ''Halo 3''. <span style="background:#AADDAA;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%"><b>File:DavidJCobb_Emblem.svg|16px]] [[User:DavidJCobb|<span style="color:#000;position:relative;top:.15em">DavidJCobb&nbsp;</span>]]</b></span> 04:08, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Huh, Didn't think of that.[[User talk:Papayaking|Papayaking]] 17:36, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

ODSTs DO rip off the turret, and they can move faster carrying it than Spartans and Elites.

Ok, I don't have ODST yet so I can't say for sure, but this seems like one of those unsigned posts that dosen't do anything but point out they DO rip them off (which we know by now), but ''faster''? I doubt it.[[User talk:Papayaking|Papayaking]] 21:51, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

They look like they run faster, but it might just be the animation, since it looks like they have a harder time carrying a turret.[[User talk:Spartan 112|112]] 22:39, October 11, 2009 (UTC)


==Reach?==
Could someone please give me a reference to where this shows up in Reach? There's only one ref tag on the entire page (for the H3 guide), and all our information on the page talks about the H3 and ODST weapon, a gatling-style machine gun with three barrels. The Reach weapon is not that gun. It is not a Gatling-style machine gun and does not have three barrels. In fact, it literally shares nothing in common with the turret from H3.

If the only source is the beta post-carnage report (which I hope, like with the MA37/MA5C conflict, is not), I say we hold off on the merge until post-beta. I mean, I can't say I'm surprised that Bungie would do something like this, but I can still be disappointed...  --[[User talk:Nerfherder1428|Nerfherder1428]] 01:16, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

:::Agreed Jugus. It's interesting to note that almost every weapon (even the returning ones from H3) has a new description from H3 except for the nades, the AR, and the HMG.  And you already have people over at the MA37 talk page trying to merge it with MA5C solely because of a similar descrepancy. Honestly, an extremely likely explanation is that a couple of tags in the template weren't changed. I'm not saying that Bungie wouldn't redo an entire weapon. It's disappointing but no surprise. I'm just saying that it is extremely important that those borrowed H3 info tags in the beta carnage reports be regarded with skepticism.--[[User talk:Nerfherder1428|Nerfherder1428]] 03:03, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

::::Considering the amount of updates and fixes Bungie added throughout the Beta phase, one could question why they didn't bother changing the so-called typos we see in the game or in the post-carnage reports. This is true to previous Halo titles where Bungie could easily corrected the so-called typos in the weapon through title-updates but chose not to do so. Perhaps Bungie intended to name them the way they want it to be?

Anyone with half a brain can tell that the turret in Reach is not an AIE-486H. They are two completely different weapons.

== Separate page proposal ==

The turret in Halo: Reach is obviously not an AIE-486H or even a variant of it. We can all tell. The only thing the two turrets share in common is their in-game functions. Aside from that, the Reach turret looks completely different, it is a completely different type of machine gun (a single-barreled instead of a triple rotary-barreled), and the ammunition box on the side says "12mm HVE" which is a completely different round. The only info to confirm its designation as an AIE-486H is the Bungie.net carnage reports. The description is the exact same as the turret in Halo 3, leading me to believe it was just copied and pasted or a section that was untouched when they used the Halo 3 template. So, I propose that we give this new turret a separate page titled "Unidentified UNSC Heavy Machine Gun" or something of the sort.--[[User talk:FluffyEmoPenguin|FluffyEmoPenguin]] 15:40, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I think we have sufficient evidence to tell that this is not an AIE-486H. The career stats seem to be shaky info as a few weapons have been misnamed (the assault rifle and plasma cannon) and most weapons seem to have been named in a very informal way. I think that even though it is technically Bungie canon, it is kind of unreliable. We should go ahead and make the new page in my opinion.

'''Evidence Disproving the AIE-486H Name:'''

1) The Halo: Reach Beta's career stats description is the exact same as Halo 3's career stats description. This describes the turret as "''...slow to spin up to full firing rate.''", which is a characteristic only found in the Halo 3 turret.

2) The ammunition box on the Reach turret says "12mm HVE", a very different round than the 7.62mm used by the AIE.

3) The most obvious evidence, they are two completely different types of machine guns. There is no way they could have the exact same name.

Something I just noticed. The turret mounted on the Scorpion in the Beta is called an M247, the same as the Halo 3 Scorpion's turret and Halo 2 stand-alone turret. This can't be right as the turret on the Reach Scorpion is the same weapon as the Reach turret in its stand-alone form. I think this is further evidence that Bungie's career stats should no longer be taken seriously.--[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Penguin</span>]] 20:30, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

== Ammunition theories ==

To make this clear, I'm not suggesting that we change anything on the page yet, I'm just throwing out some theories. This weapon is classified as a heavy machine gun, yet it is stated to use a 7.62x51mm round, too small to make this weapon classified as "heavy". I would like to know where the info on which round this turret uses came from. I know it says "7.62mm" on the turret boxes in forge, but those same boxes say "M247" on them, (the turret from Halo 2 which uses the 7.62mm), so it could be a mistake. The turret in Halo: Reach says "12mm HVE" on its ammunition box; this would classify it as a heavy machine gun for sure. Although I think we're on the general consensus that this turret was misnamed in the carnage reports as the AIE-486H. Even so, these two turrets share the same firing sound and power, meaning that they would most likely use the same round. Another point to bring up, the NMPD officers in Halo 3: ODST call it a ".50", so this could be even further evidence.--[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Penguin</span>]] 16:34, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

And a few more points (that I forgot to add), the real-life M134 minigun has 6 rotating barrels and uses the 7.62x51mm. It can achieve a rate of fire of 3000 RPM, whereas the AIE-486H can only achieve 600 RPM. Since it has 3 barrels instead of 6, I would guess it would have around half the rate of fire (1500 RPM) but it is still nowhere near that. A good assumption would be that the AIE uses a higher caliber round and is indeed a true HMG. In my final point, look at the ammunition belt feeding into the AIE. It looks much more like .50 caliber ammunition to me. It is almost identical to the belt feeding into the Warthog's .50 caliber M41 LAAG turret.--[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Penguin</span>]] 19:59, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
:The 7.62mm designation on the AIE-486H was probably just something Bungie carried over from Halo 2, to save time, similiar to what you stated. 343 then proceeded to use the information on the box for their mention of the gun. When Bungie updated the turret in Halo: Reach (which I believe is an Army variant of the gun) they updated the designation as well. In the end, I think it's a minor mistake on Bungie, that when more information is released, will be fixed. --[[user:Sgt.T.N.Biscuits|Bl]][[user_talk:Sgt.T.N.Biscuits|a]][[Special:Contributions/Sgt.T.N.Biscuits|h]] 20:10, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

:::I'd also like to point out that we've never really had an 'official' say at what round it fires. The 7.62mm came from the boxes, which were incorrectly labelled (as mentioned above!) but in the in-game dialogue, it is ''always'' referred to as a 'fifty-cal' or 'fifty' in both the Halo 3 campaign and in Halo 3: ODST. It would make sense for it to be .50 in terms of its heavy machine-gun status and the amount of damage it does, but apparently in-game dialogue isn't good enough for this wiki. For some reason. Because lets be honest, there is more evidence saying it fires .50 rounds rather than 7.62mm SLAP rounds. (grump over) [[User talk:Diaboy|Diaboy]] 01:16, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

I think that eventually we will get a new name for it, possibly when Bungie updates their Ordnance page.--[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Penguin</span>]] 05:05, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
