From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The GUA-23/AW/Linkless Feed Autocannon is a weapon used by the UNSC Marine Corps, mounted on AV-22 Sparrowhawk and AC-220 Vulture gunships. It was capable of engaging a number of enemy units of various types, ranging from infantry, to armored vehicles and aircraft.[1] The autocannon fires 20mm M718 SAPHEI or PGU-42/B API (with a depleted-uranium core) rounds.[2][3] The Vulture heavy gunship mounted version which uses a .50 caliber round that is heavier than the AV-22 Sparrowhawk's ammunition.[4][note 1]

Note
- ^ It would seem that this is a typo, as .50 caliber ammunition is much, much smaller and weaker than 20mm autocannon ammunition. The source material may have meant 50mm, as this is more consistent with the weapon's damage, report, and blast radius.
