The '''T261 Arm-Mounted Gatling Gun''', also known as the '''Lucifer''', is a UNSC Gatling-style machine gun used during the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[Prototype]]''</ref><ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us#/intel/theuniverse/tech/gallery/prototype/b053d1dc-912b-401b-bb9e-2909d1028c31?filter=all '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Prototype'']</ref> | |||
The T261 | |||
==Background== | |||
The T261 AMGG's only known use was during the [[Battle of Algolis]]. During the battle, a Marine with the call sign "[[Ghost (Marine)|Ghost]]" used a [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Armor Defense System|prototypical powered exoskeleton]] in defense of the civilians and fellow Marines still on the planet. Ghost used the suit's mounted T261 to take kill a large number of Covenant infantry, shoot down a [[Type-26 Banshee]] and destroy a [[Type-52 Phantom]] before he was overwhelmed by the invaders. He then activated the suit's nuclear self-destruct system, destroying himself, the suit, and all nearby Covenant forces. Since Ghost was never seen reloading the weapon, it is likely that the Lucifer was able of carrying 800 rounds at one time, four times the amount of the [[AIE-486H machine gun|AIE-486H HMG]] and [[M247H machine gun|M247H HMG]] when detached from their mounts. | |||
