It is very powerful and very useful against vehicles. However, it is not as effective against infantry as the [[M41 LAAG]], which is also mounted on the [[Warthog]]. This is because there is little splash damage and it has a slower rate of fire, but a direct hit will kill most enemies in one shot, or two if the target has an [[overshield]]. Due to its power and reasonable rate of fire it is a good weapon against [[Wraiths]] and many other vehicles. Its intended usage is similar to that of the [[102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret]]. | It is very powerful and very useful against vehicles.
