==Overview==
The '''M149 Recoilless Rifle''', also known as the '''Magellan''', is a [[United Nations Space Command]] weapon used during the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us#/intel/theuniverse/tech/gallery/prototype/b053d1dc-912b-401b-bb9e-2909d1028c31?filter=all '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Prototype'']</ref>
===Design details===
The M149 Magellan is a recoilless rifle, mounted on the left shoulder of the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS]]. The weapon is capable of firing 105mm high-explosive rounds, and can hold up to 50 rounds in its magazine.{{Ref/Film|Id=Prototype|HLeg|Story=Prototype}}


==Operational history==
==Background==
The Magellan was employed during the [[Algolis Invasion]]. During the battle, a Marine with the call sign "[[Ghost (Marine)|Ghost]]" took the [[Weapons Research Facility T12A|research facility's]] Mark I ADS prototype, and used it in defense of the civilians and fellow Marines still on the planet. Ghost used the suit's mounted M149 to take kill a large number of Covenant infantry, shoot down several {{Pattern|Irdnekt|Banshee}}s and destroy a {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}} before he was overwhelmed by the invaders. He then activated the suit's [[Nuclear weapon|nuclear]] self-destruct system, destroying himself, the suit and all nearby Covenant forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Prototype}}
The only known use of the M149 was during the [[Battle of Algolis]] by a [[Ghost (Marine)|marine with the call sign "Ghost"]]. During the battle, Ghost used a [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Armor Defense System|prototypical powered exoskeleton]] to hold off the Covenant while his fellow Marines and civilians evacuated Algolis. He used the suit's M149 to destroy several [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]], a [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]], and significant numbers of Covenant infantry.<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[Prototype]]''</ref>
 
A similar weapon was later installed on the right arm of the successive [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I (J) Green Machine|Mark I <nowiki>[J]</nowiki>]].{{Ref/Game|Id=HW2|HW2|Sergeant Johnson in-game unit}}
