M39 rocket turret

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Template:Weapon The 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret is only seen on Halo PC.

Introduction

The 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret is basically a triple-barreled Rocket Launcher, commonly mounted on the M12A1 It gives UNSC personnel a higher degree of anti-armor capacity.

It fires rockets similar to those M19 SSR SPNKr Rocket Launcher. One major difference, however, is that it can fire 3 rockets before each reload cycle. However, unlike the M19 SSR, it does not have a 2x scope, nor is it man-portable.

Each reload cycle of the 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret consumes 4 seconds, which is vital in combat situations. Presumably, it has an automatic reload system as the gunner does not have to do anything during the reload cycle. Partial reloads when only 1 or 2 rockets have been fired are also available.

Its role as the primary anti-armor weapon mounted on UNSC LAAVs is usurped by the more flexible and faster firing Gauss Cannon in Halo 2, which uses similar technology as the Magnetic Accelerator Cannons and eliminates the need for a reload cycle.

Description

The 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret is painted black in colour, with some sort of motion tracking systems facing the gunner. The 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret also resembles the M41 LAAG to some extent, but it is mounted with a triple-barreled rocket launcher, which seems loaded with a similar system to the M19 SSR.
