The '''M247 General Purpose Machine Gun''', formally known as the '''Machine Gun, Caliber 7.62 mm, M247''', is a machine gun used extensively by the [[United Nations Space Command]] [[United Nations Space Command Defense Force|Defense Force]].
The '''M247 General Purpose Machine Gun''' ('''GPMG''') is a machine gun used extensively by the armed forces of the [[United Nations Space Command]]. It is a scaled-down version of the [[M247H machine gun|M247H heavy machine gun]].{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=115}}


==Design Details==
==Overview==
The M247 General Purpose Machine Gun is usually placed near defensive positions in and around UNSC bases and fortifications. It is evidently chambered for the 7.62x51mm NATO standard cartridge. There are several variants of the M247 GMPG:
===Design details===
#'''Fixed''' - This variant of the turret has a slab of armor plating to protect the operator from incoming fire, and is used as a defensive weapon by the UNSC Marine Corps.
The M247 GPMG is chambered for the ubiquitous [[7.62x51mm|M118 7.62×51mm FMJ AP cartridge]], unlike the M247H, which uses the [[Wikipedia:.50 BMG|12.7mm high velocity cartridge]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Being a [[wikipedia:General-purpose machine gun|general-purpose machine gun]], the M247 is fed via a belt box on the right side of the gun and is usually deployed on a tripod. The weapon's mobility allows personnel to quickly establish defensive perimeters or to provide suppressing fire.{{Ref/Level|Id=Outskirts|H2|Outskirts}}{{Ref/Level|Id=Metropolis|H2|Metropolis}}
#'''Portable''' - This variant is man-portable and is equipped with a folding tripod or bipod for rapid relocation and setup in the field. To lighten the load, the protective plate is removed.
#'''[[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelican]]-mounted''' - This variant is secured via a mount hanging from the ceiling of the Pelican's troop bay.
#'''[[M312 Heavy Recovery Vehicle|Elephant]]-mounted''' - This variant is mounted on M312 Heavy Recovery Vehicles. It can only be operated only when the Elephant is in lockdown mode.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', Leader Card: ''[[James Gregory Cutter|Captain Cutter]]''</ref>
#'''[[M247T Medium Machine Gun]]''' - This variant is equipped on the [[M808B Main Battle Tank]] as either a coaxial-mounted or pintle-mounted anti-infantry weapon. It was also mounted on the [[Grizzly]] tanks created by [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', ''Leader Cards''</ref>
#'''[[M247H Heavy Machine Gun]]''' - The M247H is a heavier variant of the M247 GPMG used by the [[UNSC Army]]. It is mounted on [[UH-144 Falcon]]s in addition to serving as a stationary infantry weapon.


=== Advantages ===
Although it is usually used as a mobile support weapon, the M247 GPMG is often permanently turret-mounted and bolted to the ground, with a large slab of armor protecting the operator. In this configuration, the weapon is fed by a drum magazine, which is considerably larger than the standard box magazine. The M247 GPMG is also commonly mounted in the troop bays of [[D77-TC Pelican]]s, which allows the dropship's crew chief to provide suppressing fire for embarking and disembarking troops; many Pelican-mounted M247s are equipped with an underslung drum magazine to complement the belt feed.{{Ref/Reuse|Metropolis}}{{Ref/Level|H2|Delta Halo}}
The M247 is a very effective weapon against enemy infantry and light vehicles. The weapon's tracer rounds are far less visible than the projectiles of the Covenant's analogues, the [[Type-42 Directed Energy Support Weapon|Type-42]] and [[Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon]]s. While the 7.62x51mm round it uses is effective against armor and flesh, unlike plasma-based weaponry it is not particularly effective against shields. Despite this, the M247's high rate of fire makes it a very potent weapon.


In-game, the location of impact of the M247 on a target does not affect the damage inflicted. Therefore, a target shot in the legs would take the same amount of damage as it would take if shot in the chest. The M247 can take down enemy targets through sustained fire: a target that is unshielded can take only two or three rounds before dying, while a fully shielded target can survive seven or eight. A target with a fully charged [[overshield]] can take eighteen rounds before being killed, or three seconds. This is not a problem, as the high volume of fire will make short work of any foe.
===Variants===
*'''[[M247 General Purpose Machine Gun Turret Autocannon]]''': This variant is an autocannon that can be placed on the [[M312 Elephant]].
*'''[[M247H Heavy Machine Gun]]''':  This variant is the most widely used turreted machine gun in service.
*'''[[M247T Medium Machine Gun]]''': This variant is outfitted mostly on the [[M808 Scorpion]] and [[M850 Grizzly]] main battle tanks as an onboard anti-infantry weapon.

=== Disadvantages ===
==Operational history==
As is the case with the Covenant's plasma cannons, the M247's gunner is extremely exposed to enemy fire and will invariably become a high-value target to be taken out. A single hit by a [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|rocket launcher]], a round from a Scorpion tank's main gun, or a well placed [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|plasma grenade]] will destroy the turret and kill the gunner. A hit from a Wraith or an M68 Gauss Cannon will also completely deplete the gunner's shields, leaving said individual vulnerable to a follow-up shot.
The M247 had entered service with the UNSC as early as [[2526]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=Obliv4|Oblv|Chapter=4}}


The M247 cannot be detatched from its mounting, and so can only be used from a stationary position.
==Production notes==
[[File:H3_Alpha_HighGround.jpg|250px|thumb|An M247 on [[High Ground]] in an alpha build of ''Halo 3''.]]
{{Main|Cut Halo 2 weapons}}
During the [[Development of Halo 2|production]] of ''[[Halo 2]]'', the M247 was considered for inclusion as a first-person weapon, with a [[Cut Halo 2 weapons##General-purpose machine gun (GPMG)|playable version]] in the files of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Zedd|KsAV1p_yXYo|Lord Zedd|Halo: MCC - Flying The Falcon in Halo 2 And More!}} Another variant was also concepted and implemented in early builds, sporting a [[Cut Halo 2 weapons#Machine gun turret with grenade launcher|20mm grenade launcher]] mounted atop the weapon.{{Ref/Site|Id=Discoveries|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/digsite-discoveries|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Digsite Discoveries|D=17|M=07|Y=2023}} ''[[The Art of Halo: Creating a Virtual World]]'' erroneously claims this weapon as a 25mm launcher.{{Ref/Book|Id=AOHGrenadeLauncher|AoH|Page=109}}


While it is useful against enemies in light vehicles, this is not a weapon to use when faced with enemy armor, as the rounds will have little effect on a Scorpion tank or a Wraith, unless the target is hit with sustained fire for about [[List of "seven" references in Halo|seven]] seconds. Therefore, it is highly advisable to immediately flee from the turret when confronted with a tank.
The grenade launcher machine gun attachment was recovered and restored for use in retail ''Halo 2'' by the [[Digsite]] project.{{Ref/Reuse|Discoveries}}


In contrast to the ''Halo 2'' incarnation of the Shade, the M247's gunner is completely exposed to enemy fire and very vulnerable to snipers and other scoped weapons. Furthermore, the M247 can only traverse 180 degrees, so a wise gunner will recruit an ally to watch their flanks and rear. Also, while this machine gun is capable of firing over long distances, its accuracy is drastically reduced at extreme ranges. Furthermore, it is harder to zero-in at targets beyond ‘standard’ visible range, even with a spotter guiding the gunner's aim. That said, a good two person team can overcome this to a large degree, although the lack of accuracy is still problematic.
In ''[[Halo 3]]'', a number of [[List of UNSC crates|UNSC crates]] bear decals listing their contents as the M247, despite the game replacing the weapon with the [[AIE-486H machine gun]]. The decals reuse the label text and information from their equivalents in ''Halo 2'', except for changing the crate's icon to the AIE. The M247 was present in early builds of ''Halo 3'', though would ultimately be replaced for final release.

*The turret usually overlooks a good area and is readily accessible. While the gunner is capable of cutting down waves of infantry, its location and value usually marks it as the immediate and (due to it's static state) "easy" target if the assailant can hit the gunner from behind. Because of this, it is a good idea for the gunner to have a spotter. This is always a good multiplayer tactic, but here it applies especially well as the gunner's rear is completely unprotected, unlike that of it's Covenant counterpart. The mobility of the [[Shielded Plasma Cannon]] is 360°, but the M247 only allows a 180° area of fire. Having an ally watching the gunner's back will substantially increase their effectiveness and potential lifespan.
File:H2A_M247MachineGun_Concept.jpg|Concept art for ''Halo 2: Anniversary''.
*On maps with other vehicles, the gunner should be mindful of his limitations. The M247 is effective against infantry and light ground vehicles, not tanks. If an enemy [[Scorpion]] Tank or Wraith approaches, the occupant should find cover with utmost haste or be killed.
File:H2A_M247Base_Concept.jpg|Concept art of the base for ''Halo 2: Anniversary''.
*When up against the M247, it is important to focus on the turret's three main weaknesses: its weakness to explosives, lack of cover, and the lack of mobility. Explosives will easily take the emplacement down, a sniper can take advantage of the gunner's lack of cover, and an experienced player will be able to get behind the gunner and take him or her out.

The M247 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) is a machine gun used extensively by the armed forces of the United Nations Space Command. It is a scaled-down version of the M247H heavy machine gun.[4]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The M247 GPMG is chambered for the ubiquitous M118 7.62×51mm FMJ AP cartridge, unlike the M247H, which uses the 12.7mm high velocity cartridge.[4] Being a general-purpose machine gun, the M247 is fed via a belt box on the right side of the gun and is usually deployed on a tripod. The weapon's mobility allows personnel to quickly establish defensive perimeters or to provide suppressing fire.[5][6]

Although it is usually used as a mobile support weapon, the M247 GPMG is often permanently turret-mounted and bolted to the ground, with a large slab of armor protecting the operator. In this configuration, the weapon is fed by a drum magazine, which is considerably larger than the standard box magazine. The M247 GPMG is also commonly mounted in the troop bays of D77-TC Pelicans, which allows the dropship's crew chief to provide suppressing fire for embarking and disembarking troops; many Pelican-mounted M247s are equipped with an underslung drum magazine to complement the belt feed.[6][7]

Main article: Cut Halo 2 weapons

During the production of Halo 2, the M247 was considered for inclusion as a first-person weapon, with a playable version in the files of Halo: The Master Chief Collection.[9] Another variant was also concepted and implemented in early builds, sporting a 20mm grenade launcher mounted atop the weapon.[10] The Art of Halo: Creating a Virtual World erroneously claims this weapon as a 25mm launcher.[11]

The grenade launcher machine gun attachment was recovered and restored for use in retail Halo 2 by the Digsite project.[10]

In Halo 3, a number of UNSC crates bear decals listing their contents as the M247, despite the game replacing the weapon with the AIE-486H machine gun. The decals reuse the label text and information from their equivalents in Halo 2, except for changing the crate's icon to the AIE. The M247 was present in early builds of Halo 3, though would ultimately be replaced for final release.
