It has eight [[Machine-linked autocannon#M9109 ASW/AC 50mm|M9109 coilguns]] that fire 50mm rounds at enemy fighters and ground forces during tactical strikes.{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=112}} There are four [[ASGM-10 missile]]s, which are specialized for use against single targets such as the [[Covenant]] [[Seraph]], although they are powerful enough to deal significant damage to targets not protected by [[energy shield]]s.{{Ref/Game|Id=CEALibrary|HCEA|Library (feature)|Library|Detail=Longsword}} These are typically housed in a rotary launcher within the internal ordnance bay, to protect the missiles prior to launch. If needed, it can replace its anti-ship missiles with conventional smart bombs, satellites, or special mission payloads.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}} | ||
