M370 autocannon: Difference between revisions
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
(The Essential Visual Guide states that the M370 is the Pelican's standard armament. Since most chain guns are autocannons, it is safe to assume that they are the same weapon.) |

Template:Weapon The M370 autocannon is an anti-personnel/anti-vehicle weapon mounted below the nose of most D77-TC Pelican dropships.[1] The weapon fires 70mm depleted uranium slugs and is sometimes twin-linked with another such weapon, doubling its firepower.[2] 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. The turret can also be operated by a copilot, or manually by a gunner.[3] The weapon seemingly replaced the 40mm chain gun that was common prior to 2525.[4]
