::I may have some further information to provide, that would suggest that what we have here is canon. I can believe what you are talking about are the four barrels of what I believe are probably a heavy version of the Point-Defense Gun turret, one that features four barrels rather than two. If you looked closely enough at the ''Pillar of Autumn'' from ''Halo: Reach'', you'll notice that it most certainly does have only one MAC gun, but is also bristling with Point-Defense Gun turrets. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see two MAC guns. I see only one barrel, and I see what looks like some kind of reloading system similar to what I've seen in some real-world gun schematics for automatic and semiautomatic weapons. --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 15:12, 31 January 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330 | ::I may have some further information to provide, that would suggest that what we have here is canon.

I think that | I think that I might've confused you guys. I didnt specify which picture (my bad). I was talking about this [[:File:POA-MAC Schematic.jpg|this one here]]. | ||
You can clearly see there are two barrels. The top one (which I originally thought was the MAC, and there is evidence to support this, any number of pictures) and a lower one which is actually in the process of firing a 3 round burst --[[User:maccabeuse|Maccabeuse]] 05:45, 31 January 2012 (EST) | |||
:Fixed link. I did know what you were talking about, after I looked around a bit. You'll notice the "second barrel" is labeled "linear accelerator", meaning it is the electromagnetically-charged firing mechanism, and furthermore, the linear accelerator does ''not'' have an external firing barrel. The only real firing barrel I see is the one I've always seen: the one labeled in the diagram as the "Magnetic Accelerator Cannon (MAC)". Though I can see how that might be a little confusing. But hopefully this explanation will clear things up. --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 18:04, 31 January 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330 | |||
