The '''M247T Medium Machine Gun''', formally '''Machine Gun, Caliber 7.62&nbsp;mm, M247''', is a variant of the [[M247 machine gun]] produced by [[Misriah Armory]] and used by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. It is outfitted on the [[M808C Scorpion]], [[M820 Scorpion]], and [[M850 Grizzly]] [[Wikipedia:Main battle tank|main battle tanks]] as an onboard anti-infantry weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}}{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=238}}{{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=248}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=140-141}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/stats/reach/globalheatmaps.aspx|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Halo: Reach - Heatmaps|D=9|M=2|Y=2021}}
The '''M247T Medium Machine Gun''', formally '''Machine Gun, Caliber 7.62 mm, M247''', is a variant of the [[M247 General Purpose Machine Gun]] produced by [[Misriah Armory]] and used by the [[UNSC Defense Force]]. It is primarily outfitted on the [[M808 Main Battle Tank|M808 "Scorpion" Main Battle Tank]] as an onboard anti-infantry weapon.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/globalheatmaps.aspx '''Bungie.net''': ''Global Heatmaps'']</ref> The standard M808 model uses a pintle-mounted M247T with a dedicated operator's compartment near the front of the vehicle. On the [[M808B Main Battle Tank|M808B variant]], the weapon is instead mounted coaxially to the right of the [[M512 smooth-bore high-velocity cannon|main gun turret]]. The latter mounting configuration is shared with the [[M850 Main Battle Tank|M850 "Grizzly" MBT]].
 
==Overview==

The M808C Scorpion uses a pintle-mounted M247T with a dedicated operator's compartment near the front of the vehicle.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} The M850 Grizzly uses a coaxially mounted M247T which aligns with the main cannons.{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=86}} Some Grizzlies also feature a pintle-mounted M247T in front of the main turret hatch.{{Ref/Game|SA|Grizzly in-game model}}
 
The machine gun is effective at eliminating infantry and protecting battle tanks from personnel threats. The M247T Medium Machine Gun is chambered for the ubiquitous [[7.62x51mm|M118 7.62×51 mm FMJ AP cartridge]].{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}}
