*The Magnetic Accelerator Cannon is twice mistakenly referred to as the "Mass Accelerator Cannon" in the [[Halo Universe]] - in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', and in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', in which it is referred to as a "Mass ''Accelerated'' Cannon", which seems to be a simple typo as it does not make sense grammatically. It may be a confusion between the MAC and the [[Mass Driver]], a non-military application of similar technologies. | *The Magnetic Accelerator Cannon is twice mistakenly referred to as the "Mass Accelerator Cannon" in the [[Halo Universe]] - in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', and in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', in which it is referred to as a "Mass ''Accelerated'' Cannon", which seems to be a simple typo as it does not make sense grammatically.

*The colony ship-turned-warship [[UNSC Spirit of Fire]]'s MAC cannon is revealed to be unable to penetrate a [[Citadel (Covenant)|Citadel]]'s [[Shield Generator (Covenant)|shield]] in ''[[Halo Wars]]'' in one hit. This might be the result of a weaker, earlier version of the Cannon, or that the Shield is very powerful. It is likely though that the ''Spirit of Fire'', being a colony ship refitted for battle, had a weaker MAC gun.

Another possiblility is that since its MAC gun is meant for ground support and not ship to ship engagements, it may fire lighter MAC rounds since normal sized rounds would be to powerful and would cause friendly causualties, this also could explain why the cannon could fire so many shots in quick succesion. Alternatively, it may only be for gameplay purposes. | ||
