*Like the [[M41 LAAG]], the AIE-486H bears a striking resemblance to the [[wikipedia:GAU-19|GAU-19/A]] machine gun used by the United States military.

*During [[Forge]] matches, the mounted AIE-486H can be picked up, moved, and rotated, even while another player is using the turret. If the other player rips the turret from the base while this is happening, the player will duplicate the turret. This can be used to arm an entire team with turrets. These traits also apply to Plasma Turrets, and anyone seated in the turret position of a vehicle won't be forced out like the driver will. | *During [[Forge]] matches, the mounted AIE-486H can be picked up, moved, and rotated, even while another player is using the turret.
