*While the AIE-486H HMG might appear more mobile than the ''Halo 2'' turret, it is shown to be heavier and harder to carry, even slowing Spartans and Elites. The [[M247 General Purpose Machine Gun|M247 Machine Gun]] (from ''Halo 2'') is actually lighter in its portable form; it is able to be carried by Marines as seen in the levels {{Levelname|Cairo Station}} and {{Levelname|Outskirts}}, and the stationary form doesn't appear difficult to rip off. | *While the AIE-486H HMG might appear more mobile than the ''Halo 2'' turret, it is shown to be heavier and harder to carry, even slowing Spartans and Elites.

*The AIE-486H is usable in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' in its detached state, just as it is in ''Halo 3''. This is done for gameplay reasons only, as an un-enhanced human should not be strong enough to pick the turret up, much less carry it around, fire it accurately on the move or be faster than a Spartan wielding one. | *The AIE-486H is usable in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' in its detached state, just as it is in ''Halo 3''.

*Unlike real world gatling guns, there is no obvious power source for the motors that turn the barrels, which would typically be a battery pack located on the side of the weapon. Though, with the advent of micro-fusion power, such as that found on the back of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR]], the battery could very well be incorporated within the AIE-486H's receiver. In the 21st century several Russian "gatling" style aircraft mounted gun incorporate a gas operated action to rotate the barrels, so this could be just as feasible. | *Unlike real world gatling guns, there is no obvious power source for the motors that turn the barrels, which would typically be a battery pack located on the side of the weapon.
