Assault cannon: Difference between revisions

The '''Assault Cannon'''<ref name="multiple">[[Halo: Contact Harvest]] pg. 267</ref> is a variant of the standard [[Fuel Rod Gun]] utilized only by the Hunters. It has two variants, one of which is all but identical to the normal Gun, the other of which is closer to the vehicle [[Fuel Rod Cannon|variant]] and fires a continuous beam.  

The ammunition it uses is tubes of incendiary gel<ref name="multiple" />. Tubes can be fired individually, which detonate on impact and have an arcing trajectory, or have the gel or plasma sprayed out of the weapon in a 'beam'. The weapon itself can switch between these two modes by the [[Mgalekgolo]] using it. However, before firing, the weapon must be charged up. This "charge" makes it extremely obvious that the [[Hunter]] is attempting to shoot you, and it also makes it fairly easy to dodge the cannon's blast in [[Halo: CE]].
