#REDIRECT [[M68 Gauss cannon]]
[[Image:Warthog_gauss.jpg|thumb|Gauss Cannon on Hog]]The '''Gauss Cannon''' is an anti-vehicle weapon usually mounted on a [[UNSC]] [[Warthog]]. It uses burst damage, unlike the continous damage of the chaingun. It is relatively powerful, also being known as a anti-vehicle cannon. It uses the same Magnetic Accelerator technology as the orbital [[MAC gun]] defense system. It is, in essence, a pint sized version. It can kill infantry in one hit, two if they have an [[Overshield]], and can destroy things most effectively. Due to its power and speed it is a good weapon against [[Wraiths]].
 
This weapon uses a set of magnets used to propel a 25mm slug of depleted uranium, a very dense heavy metal, at high speeds. The raw mass and great speeds of the projectile is the key to the stopping power and performace of the gauss cannon. Unlike the chain-fed system of feed that the M41 machine gun uses, this cannon uses a tube to draw slugs from it's ammunition drum mounted below the cannon.
 
In [[Halo 2]], this version of the Warthog seems to have replaced the M12A1 LAAV version of the Warthog, which featured three [[Rocket Launcher]]s. That version became problematic due to the prodigous reload time necessary for the launchers.
