M202 XP machine gun
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The M202 XP Machine Gun is a type of automated stationary gun turret [1]. They were obsolete as of 2541, and used only in the training of the Spartan-III's. They fire Stun Rounds for training and can fire bullets if needed. The gun has a minimum angle of fire; a person can stay out of the cone of fire to avoid getting shot. Their tracking speed is limited, as the Spartan-III's were able to stay well ahead of its line of fire.
They are secured to a platform by securing bolts. On the platform, the gun is hooked up by wires to: a radar array that uses radar to target, a power supply that powers the turret, and an automated fire control. They can also be disassembled and be used manually, like a normal gun. For example, this was done in the Spartan-III's training to combat the trainers with more than their bare hands.
The M202 is the default armament of the UNSC's automated turrets in Halo Wars.[2]
