MAC Blast

''Were you looking for the MAC Cannon? "Use the Spirit of Fire's awesome Mass Accelerator Cannon to incinerate enemy troops."

- In-game description.

The MAC Blast consists of an orbital bombardment by the Spirit of Fire from orbit of an area of the ground, using its ship-mounted Magnetic Accelerator Cannon. These strikes are capable of devastating relatively large areas, and can destroy even Covenant Scarab walkers with their strength.



Trivia
Although powerful, it is theorized that a real-life strike of similar proportions would rival nuclear warheads in their devastation. Instead, the MAC Blast causes far less damage, though more than enough for the UNSC's needs, but they can take down Covenant energy shielding in space combat. They consist of a very heavy tungsten carbide round and the size varies, depending on the type of armament. The may use specially designed MAC shells, either smaller or lighter, for orbital bombardment, to prevent collateral damage to allied forces, or more likely, the rounds are being fired at a lower charge in order to fire so many rounds so rapidly.
