The '''M370 autocannon''' is an anti-personnel/anti-vehicle weapon mounted below the nose of most [[D77-TC Pelican]] [[dropship]]s.<ref name="EVG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 135''</ref> The weapon fires 70mm depleted uranium slugs and is sometimes twin-linked with another such weapon, doubling its firepower.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 40''</ref> The gun is linked to the movements of the pilot's head, which allows for very short delays between spotting enemies and firing; the turret can rotate up to 120 degrees to wherever the pilot is looking.

Pilots and gunners of [[D77-TC Pelican]]s (and presumably those of [[UH-144 Falcon]]s<ref group="note">In ''[[Halo: Fireteam Raven]]'', Falcon pilots are seen wearing the same helmet as their ''Halo 2'' counterparts, which is equipped with this system.</ref>) are able to use the [[Integrated Helmet and Display Sight System]] to allow them track targets with head movements and display weapon information on their [[heads-up display]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets]]''', ''page 66''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: the Flood]]''', ''page 77''</ref> | |||
