It is outfitted on the [[M808C Scorpion]] and [[M850 Grizzly]] [[Wikipedia:Main battle tank|main battle tanks]] as an onboard anti-infantry weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}}<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/stats/reach/globalheatmaps.aspx '''Bungie.net''': ''Global Heatmaps'']</ref> | |||
==Overview== | |||
===Design details=== | |||
The M247T is one of the most common variants of the M247 machine gun.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 331''</ref> The M247T is fitted with a retractable metal shield near the rear of its barrel to protect the user. The M808C Scorpion uses a pintle-mounted M247T with a dedicated operator's compartment near the front of the vehicle.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} The M850 Grizzly uses a coaxially mounted M247T which aligns with the main cannons.<ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 86''</ref> Some Grizzlies also feature a pintle-mounted M247T in front of the main turret hatch.<ref>''Halo: Spartan Assault''</ref> | |||
The machine gun is effective at eliminating infantry and protecting battle tanks from personnel threats. The M247T Medium Machine Gun is chambered for the ubiquitous [[7.62x51mm|M118 7.62×51 mm FMJ AP cartridge]].{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} | |||
