The heavy plasma cannons mounted on both the Space Banshees and on the Seraph fighters greatly vary in shape (the ones mounted on the Space Banshees are very elongated, and the ones on the Seraphs are very small and build into the "wings"), but both fire the same type of ammunition, smaller sized blue plasma bolts, which are fired faster but do less damage than the normal "concussion" version of the heavy cannon mounted on the Phantoms and Spirits. | The heavy plasma cannons mounted on both the Space Banshees and on the Seraph fighters greatly vary in shape (the ones mounted on the Space Banshees are very elongated, and the ones on the Seraphs are very small and build into the "wings"), but both fire the same type of ammunition, smaller sized blue plasma bolts, which are fired faster but do less damage than the normal "concussion" version of the heavy cannon mounted on the Phantoms and Spirits. | ||
Also, the | Also, the {{Pattern|R'shwupa|Phantom}}, a new space version of the Phantom introduced in ''Halo: Reach'' is equipped with two new space combat versions of the cannon, one chin mounted gun with three long prongs at the end, and multiple smaller cannons mounted on the sides. Even though the chin-mounted cannon and the side cannons look different, they fire the same type of big blue plasma bolts, similar to those from the normal "concussion" version. | ||
