The M68 is an extremely accurate weapon, useful against most enemy units. It has proven to be devastating against light-armored vehicles, it can take out a [[Ghost]] or a [[Banshee]] in one or two shots (depending on shot placement). The weapon is rather effective against Wraiths as well, provided the driver can out-flank the Wraith and fire upon its unprotected backside before it brings its [[plasma mortar]] to bear.

The weapon is rather effective against Wraiths as well, provided the driver can out-flank the Wraith and fire upon its unprotected backside before it brings its [[plasma mortar]] to bear. Even if this proves impossible, the rapid recharge time of the M68 compaired to the plasma mortar is usually enough to allow the gunner to simply pound the front of the Wraith till it is destoryed. The M68 is also exceedingly deadly if used against infantry. Anything living caught by the 25mm round will quite litterally evaporate, the sheer speed of the projectile ripping them appart in miliseconds. However users should priorities the most dangerous units like high-ranked [[Sangheili]], [[Jiralhanae]] and [[Mgalekgolo]]. Its relatively high rate of fire, when compared to other electromagnetic accelerator weapons, makes it a devastating precision weapon on any battlefield. Its anti-armor capabilities are second only to those of the [[SP42 Main Battle Tank|SP42 Cobra]]'s mounted [[M66 light rail gun]], and static defense platforms, such as the [[Mark 2488 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|Onager]]. | ||
