The M202 XP machine gun is a single-barrelled, automatic firearm commonly seen mounted on UNSC automated defense turrets. They can be deployed on a number of platform types - one such example used during [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III training]] on [[Onyx]] had have a minimum angle of fire and as such a person could stay out of the cone of fire to avoid getting shot.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc331}} Their tracking speed is limited, meaning a fast enemy is capable of staying well ahead of its line of fire. They are secured to a platform by securing bolts. On the platform, the gun is hooked up by wires to a radar array that uses radar to target, a power supply that powers the turret, and an automated fire control. They can also be disassembled and be used manually, like a normal gun. For example, this was done in the Spartan-IIIs' training to combat the trainers with more than their bare hands.{{Ref/Novel|Id=GoO9|GoO|Chapter=9}} | The M202 XP machine gun is a single-barrelled, automatic firearm commonly seen mounted on UNSC automated defense turrets.

These turrets can mount two (or sometimes three) M202s alongside other weapons such as [[KG Mark 34 flame mortar]]s, [[M41 Vulcan]] rotary cannons, [[M66 light railgun]]s and [[Anaconda surface-to-air missile]]s to increase the versatility and power of the turret.{{Ref/Game|HW|Base turret in-game unit}}{{Ref/Reuse|cs}} | ||
