According to [[:File:H3 - FrigateOverview.png|this image]], the point defense weapons on a UNSC frigate are railguns. I don't think the method of operation of the 50mm point defense gun has ever been specified, but for me, it always seemed more like a conventional, chemical-based weapon. The weapon's caliber would also suggest this; for a railgun intended for point defense, 50mm seems like a massive caliber. It could be that the guns on UNSC frigates (at least the ''Halo 3'' model) are railguns, while the regular point defense guns operate on a different principle. If this is true, they should be split to avoid confusion since this page seems to be about a single weapon rather than all different kinds of point defense guns. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 11:05, 24 January 2011 (EST)

At this point I've come to agree that there have been many different types of point defense guns mentioned throughout the halo universe. There should probably be a list of the different variants or a change to this page to make the generalization of them as a whole.--[[User talk:UNSCSILVERSTREAK|UNSCSILVERSTREAK]] 02:17, 27 May 2011 (EDT)
