This weapon fires very large 70mm shells. The rate of fire is most likely lower than most UNSC automatic weapons, but damage per hit is likely to be very high to compensate. A variety of ammunition is most likely compatible with this weapon. High-explosive rounds are probably used as standard. It should be noted that the nose-mounted machine gun featured on [[Halo 2|''Halo 2's'']] Pelican dropship is not this weapon. That turret is simply a variant of the [[M247 General Purpose Machine Gun|M247 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG).]]
This weapon fires very large 70mm shells. The rate of fire is most likely lower than most UNSC automatic weapons, though the shells certainly have heavy stopping power.
