In [[Halo 3]], the Plasma Cannon was redesigned. It now looks less like the [[Plasma Rifle]], and sports what appear to be shields or targeting displays on top of it. Also, it appears to be more bulky and not shaped like a straw. These could also be heat dissipation vanes; this is supported by the fact that the weapon cannot overheat even if the entire power supply is emptied non stop. The Halo 3 Plasma Cannon behaves exactly like the [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun|AIE-486H HMG]] in rate of fire, and has the same number of shots (200) when detached from the Gravity mount. Brutes can use the detached turret in the same manner as the player but it has not een seen that a Brute will physically detacht it. A version of the Type-52 DESW is also mounted on [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage]] and [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Artillery]]. | In [[Halo 3]], the Plasma Cannon was redesigned.
