::::::::Maybe, but that's speculation, right? The Majestic was of an unknown class, and it fired its MAC guns roughly once every five seconds. Meaning that it probably overrides the previous Fall Of Reach numbers. This does open up numerous plot holes (like why the UNSC ever had trouble if their MACs fire that fast and can snap a CCS-battlecruiser in half with three shots), but do we have any hard evidence that they didn't charge their MACs to full power? They one-shotted Covenant cruisers so I assume they were at full power.--[[Special:Contributions/68.8.14.28|68.8.14.28]] 17:20, 21 January 2013 (EST) | ::::::::Maybe, but that's speculation, right?

:::::::::Firing your MAC on full power against a ground target is a good way to do the Covenant's job for them, especially since you're putting as many kilotons as 24 Little Boy bombs against one target.--[[User:The All-knowing Sith'ari|The All-knowing Sith'ari]] ([[User talk:The All-knowing Sith'ari|talk]]) 18:05, 21 January 2013 (EST) | :::::::::Firing your MAC on full power against a ground target is a good way to do the Covenant's job for them, especially since you're putting as many kilotons as 24 Little Boy bombs against one target.--[[User:The All-knowing Sith'ari|The All-knowing Sith'ari]] ([[User talk:The All-knowing Sith'ari|talk]]) 18:05, 21 January 2013 (EST) | ||
:::::::::Well yeah, but the fact that they one-shotted the cruisers makes me wonder. That and this is just speculation; doesn't the hard game evidence just say that they fired MACs really fast without anything saying that they weren't at full power? Did the areas they hit not get reduced to rubble? If either of those things are true, do you have anything to prove it?--[[Special:Contributions/68.8.14.28|68.8.14.28]] 19:30, 21 January 2013 (EST) | ::::::::::Well yeah, but the fact that they one-shotted the cruisers makes me wonder.

''(reset indent)'' Going back to the question given to me, I'm simply going along with [[UNSC_Majestic#cite_ref-class_1-0|this note]] on the [[UNSC Majestic]] article, which makes sense (or some sense) from the actual conversation on Reflection's radio. As to why it is capable of firing MAC rounds at such rate, do note that the figures from FoR only applies to POA and Commonwealth-class (though one can make an argument that the figures are capable of being extended to all cruisers and frigates). Do note that there might be other factors contributing to the destruction of the three CSSs, such as their potential position (i.e. they were on top one another, thus making it easier), one CSS crashed into another as it took damage and thus lowered the shields of the other CSS and therefore making it easier for Majestic, etc. Whatever it is... firing six rounds in three shots is still an overkill compared to firing one round per shot. As for the recharge rate, it is possible that they rerouted the power from the engines into the MAC capacitor, thus allowing quick recharge rate (like how Keyes told Hikowa at the end of FoR). Then again, it could be that destroyers have faster recharge rate since... well... they're destroyers. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 19:53, 22 January 2013 (EST) | |||
