''' | A '''man cannon''', more formally referred to as a '''conveyor lift''',<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Midnight]]'' ([[Cortana]]: ''"Conveyor lift, end of the ramp. If we time it right, our momentum should carry us through the low gravity."'')</ref> is a device that launches an individual or object through the air over a long distance.<ref name="h3">'''Halo 3'''</ref> In the case of [[human]]-built man cannons, this is typically accomplished by means of some form of air vent or jet thruster, whereas [[Forerunner]] or [[Covenant]] man cannons commonly employ more sophisticated technology, such as [[anti-gravity technology|anti-gravity emitters]] similar to that used in [[gravity lift]]s. | ||
