* If the cannon is [[Modding|modded]] onto another vehicle, such as a [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]] or a [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]], the weapon's recoil will be so powerful that the smaller vehicle will go flying.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojl07pQt4tw '''YouTube.com''', ''Halo: Reach .MAP Mod - TankHog'']</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMkmleqJ8oc '''YouTube.com''', ''halo 3 hell hornet and scarab banshee mod'']</ref>

* "High-velocity" is a real-world term for a tank cannon with a projectile velocity between 1,550 and 3,350 feet per second (472&nbsp;m/s to 1,021&nbsp;m/s), such as the 90mm M3 Gun used by the M26 Pershing.<ref>[http://fas.org/irp/doddir/army/ar310-25.pdf "Dictionary of United States Army terms"]</ref>
* In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', it is possible to shoot off the cannon of the Scorpion using another Scorpion.
* Despite the M512's stated calibre being 90mm, the in-game models of the Scorpion all have main guns with bores of around 125mm.
