The '''GUA-23/AW/Linkless Feed Autocannon''' is a weapon used by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], mounted on [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk|Hawk]] and [[AC-220 Vulture|Vulture]] VTOL gunships. It was capable of engaging a number of enemy units of various types, ranging from infantry, to armored vehicles and aircraft.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', leader cards</ref> The Vulture heavy gunship mounted version which uses a .50 caliber round that is heavier than the [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk|Hawk]]'s ammunition.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]'''</ref> However, it seems unlikely that either aircraft would use a .50 caliber or lower caliber round. This is because the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]]'s machine gun turret uses .50 caliber rounds as well, but they are much less damaging. The GUA-23 Autocannon must use a 15mm or higher caliber round to be considered an autocannon. Hence, the GUA-23 seems to be a 25 or 30mm cannon. | The '''GUA-23/AW/Linkless Feed Autocannon''' is a weapon used by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], mounted on [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk|Hawk]] and [[AC-220 Vulture|Vulture]] VTOL gunships.
