Talk:M41 Vulcan

Spartan 112 02:22, 1 March 2008 (UTC)I'm almost absolutely sure the chain-gun in the recant Halo 3 ViDoc looks exactly like the one in Pre-Xbox Screenshots.

Bungie did say something about an old friend returning for Halo 3 weaponry.--Spartan 1138 14:51, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Go to the article Pre Xbox Halo, it has a very good picture of the Chain Gun (Pre-Xbox) and even a video containing all the old weapons. Capt Bartlett 15:12, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

X-Button?
Perhaps the Chaingun can be changed from portable to positioned by using the X button? Hunter-113 21:51, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

chain gun
I think that the M41 could be the "Chain gun" mentioned by a marine in the books. It's virtually unthinkable that they only mount it on vehicles, theres probably a fixed turret variant.

perha but a chain gun and a gatling gun are different weapons all together. a chain gun is a single-barreled Externaly-powered automatic weapon but a Gatling-style machine gun uses muliple rotatin barrels.

.50 cal?
I heard a Marine on The Storm, at the beginning say "we'll cover ya on the 50". Could this mean the M41 is a .50 cal? Spartan 112 02:25, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Says it right there!
Yeah, 12.7mm is 50 caliber. The UNSC uses three kinds of .50 caliber ammunition: 12.7x99mm BMG, 12.7x40mm M225 SAP-HE (used in the M6D), and 12.7x40mm M228 SAP-HP (the sadly underpowered cartridge used in the M6C.

Ok, I didnt know that the 12.7mm is a .50 cal.Spartan 112 20:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


 * .50 Cal = .50 inches, 1 inch = 25.4mm, thus: .50 cal = 12.7mmMaiar 06:20, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
