It is also possible this would create a type of small plasma mortar, and that something in the back of the weapon produces a type of gas to project it, similar to how a Flamethrower works where a small flame is projected by gas. | ||
*The Halo 3 variant doesn't contain the "drum" like the previous Assault Cannons. Instead it has six tubes on the side of the gun which appear to house the incendiary liquid projectile. | *The Halo 3 variant doesn't contain the "drum" like the previous Assault Cannons.
