M39 rocket turret: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

The 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret is basically a triple-barreled [[Rocket Launcher]], commonly mounted on the M12A1 [[Warthog]]. It gives [[UNSC]] personnel a higher degree of anti-armor capacity.

It fires rockets similar to those M19 SSR SPNKr Rocket Launcher. One major difference, however, is that it can fire 3 rockets before each reload cycle. However, unlike the M19 SSR, it does not have a 2x scope, nor is it man-portable.

Each reload cycle of the 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret consumes 4 seconds, which is vital in combat situations. Presumably, it has an automatic reload system as the gunner does not have to do anything during the reload cycle. Partial reloads when only 1 or 2 rockets have been fired are also available, but will still use up the entire reload cycle- there is no time difference between reloading a empty launcher, or a launcher with 1 rocket left.

Its role as the primary anti-armor [[weapon]] mounted on UNSC LAAVs is usurped by the more flexible and faster firing Gauss Cannon in ''[[Halo 2]]'', which uses similar technology as the Magnetic Accelerator Cannons and eliminates the need for a reload cycle.
