Numerous starfighters in service with the [[UNSC]] are equipped with machine-linked autocannons. These include exoatmospheric craft like [[GA-TL1 Longsword]]s, [[YSS-1000 Sabre]]s, [[F-41 Broadsword]]s, and even suborbital bombers like the [[B-65 Shortsword]]. Several models of the autocannon exist, while the calibre of the rounds ranging from 30mm to 50mm. The autocannons are very effective in engaging hostile spacecraft, such as [[Phantom]]s and [[Seraphs]].<ref name="HRmanual">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''' - ''Game Manual''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'''</ref> | Numerous starfighters in service with the [[UNSC]] are equipped with machine-linked autocannons.

Two M1024 cannons are mounted on the [[YSS-1000 Sabre]] as its main armament.<ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 161''</ref | Two M1024 cannons are mounted on the [[YSS-1000 Sabre]] as its main armament.<ref name="HRmanual"/><ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 161''</ref> The Sabre is armed with two cannons, one on each wing, situated close to the cockpit. The cannons fire 30mm rounds that travel slowly and requires the pilot to lead the shots. The cannons are very powerful and can take out a [[Type-27 XMF|Banshee]] in one or two shots and can quickly take out a [[Type-31 Seraph]] starfighter's shielding, leaving it vulnerable to [[ST/Medusa missile|homing missiles]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref> | ||
