The '''Grenflekt Workshop Meat Shredder''', also known as the '''Scrap Cannon''', is a turreted weapon emplacement designed by the [[Grenflekt Workshop]] and manufactured by the [[Forge of Teash]] in service with the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=481}} It saw use during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] in [[2560]].{{Ref/Site|Id=PeekDesign|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/peek-design|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Peek Design|D=10|M=5|Y=2021}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
The Scrap Cannon has a similar ergonomic design to the [[Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shot]] and more traditional [[plasma cannon]]s, though a wildly different operating mechanism.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} The weapon functions as a fully-automatic gatling [[mortar]] that fires explosive rounds, with a rate of fire that increases the longer the trigger is held down.{{Ref/Game|Id=HINF|HINF|Scrap Cannon in-game weapon}} To either side of the barrel is a razor-sharp bayonet.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}

The Scrap Cannon's name comes from its construction—unlike more advanced weapons of [[Covenant]] origin which require [[assembler vats]] to build and maintain, the Scrap Cannon can be assembled using relatively simple fabrication techniques and metal pulled from the destroyed remains of [[human]] equipment. These facets have made it a widely deployed weapon particularly for the remote Banished detachment operating on [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}

===Usage===
The Scrap Cannon is predominantly used by [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftains]] of the [[Jiralhanae]] forces of the [[Banished]], including [[Tovarus]] and [[Escharum]]. Its relatively simple construction has made it ideal for service in long expeditionary campaigns such as the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]]—with Banished fabricators in the field able to easily construct and maintain the weapons with relatively simple tools.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}

==In-game information==
===''Halo Infinite''===
The Scrap Cannon is fully automatic, and the rate of fire increases the longer the weapon is fired. As with many turreted weapons, it can be detached from its base to be fired from the hip. {{Ref/Reuse|PeekDesign}} The Scrap Cannon is wielded by [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s including [[Tovarus]] and [[Escharum]].{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}}

In [[multiplayer]], the [[Scorpion Tail]]—available in [[Big Team Battle|BTB Heavy]] matches on selected maps—reuses the in-game model of the Scrap Cannon, but functions like the [[M808C Scorpion|Scorpion]]'s [[M512 smooth-bore high-velocity cannon|cannon]].

==Production notes==
{{Quote|What’s that? You don’t enjoy hot metal being hurled at you from uncomfortable distances while you’re just trying to mind your own business and defend humanity? Well, too bad so sad, shouldn’t have made the Brutes mad.|[[Jeff Easterling]]{{Ref/Reuse|PeekDesign}}}}
During the early development of ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', the weapon was nicknamed the "gatling mortar".{{Ref/Reuse|PeekDesign}} The nickname was retained in its [[Forge]] description.{{Ref/Reuse|forge}}
