Machine-linked autocannon: Difference between revisions
In 'design details', the explanation of the acronym ASW/AC had a typo. Originally it was 'Ant-Ship' but I changed it to 'Anti-Ship', after double-checking the source for accuracy.

Numerous starfighters in service with the [[UNSC]] are equipped with machine-linked autocannons. These include exoatmospheric craft like [[GA-TL1 Longsword]]s, [[FSS-1000 Sabre]]s, [[F-41 Broadsword]]s, and even suborbital bombers like the [[B-65 Shortsword]]. Several models of the autocannon exist, while the calibre of the rounds ranging from 30mm to 50mm. The autocannons are very effective in engaging hostile spacecraft, such as [[Phantom]]s and [[Type-31 Seraph]]s.{{Ref/Book|Id=HRmanual|Halo: Reach manual|Page=8}} | Numerous starfighters in service with the [[UNSC]] are equipped with machine-linked autocannons.
