The machine gun is excellent against enemy infantry, especially when they are encountered in large numbers. However, the user is entirely exposed. Carrying the turret also greatly decreases the player's speed and maneuverability. The M247H will overheat after extensive use, forcing the user to wait for the gun to cool down or risk it inoperable until it is fully cooled. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]] will use these turrets if in their vicinity. In ''Halo Wars 2'', it has become an exclusive weapon for [[Alice-130]].
