| The '''M3045 Medium Machine Gun/Self Tracking''' is a classification of anti-infantry [[automated turret]] employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=183}}
| | These '''unidentified turrets''' are a type of anti-infantry turret employed by the [[UNSC]] and [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]] as of [[2558]].{{Ref/Level|H5G|Unconfirmed}} They were employed by the latter during the [[Meridian#Rise of the Created|attack]] on [[Apogee Station]] by the [[Created]]. It bears a superficial resemblance to the [[M3063 Deployable Turret]], particularly in its method of folding up when inactive. |

| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Design details===
| |
| Unlike the larger [[M3063 deployable turret|M3063 heavy deployable turret]], the M3045 sits on a single round base, with the turret folded-down for compact storage while not in use. When activated, the gun is raised and can turn around, and appears to have a small magazine of ammunition mounted on the back for manual reloading by an external technician. The turret's weapon is a single medium [[machine gun]], which has an automatic fire mode.{{Ref/Game|H5G|Autoturret in-game unit}}
| |
| | |
| As with most [[human]] automated defences, M3045s can be deployed with multiple units [[UNSC battle network|networked together]] to act as a single machine. In these scenarios, the turrets are generally deployed with overlapping fields of fire with which they can be used to their best effect. Defensive networks like this generally rely on an optical or laser sensor and an [[Identification friend or foe|IFF]] interrogator for target acquisition, which can then be shared across the network to best facilitate effective firing.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

| ==Operational History==
| |
| M3045s were used by the Liang-Dortmund company as a defensive installation at [[Apogee Station]] on [[Meridian]] in [[2558]], though still bearing UNSC colors. They were employed during the [[Meridian#Rise of the Created|attack]] on Apogee Station by the [[Created]] in October of that year, and were activated by [[Fireteam Osiris]] to assist the station's defenders in fighting off [[Promethean]] forces.{{Ref/Level|H5G|Unconfirmed}}

| One of these autoturrets can be found in the ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' campaign level [[Unconfirmed]], in the section before [[Fireteam Osiris]] descends into the Forerunner structure (where the [[Armiger Soldier|Soldier]] comments on the human weaponry). In the structure to the right is a control panel overlooking the combat area. Once activated, the turret will unfold and begin firing on the enemies. | | One of these autoturrets can be found in the ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' campaign level [[Unconfirmed]], in the section before [[Fireteam Osiris]] descends into the Forerunner structure (where the [[Promethean Soldier|Soldier]] comments on the human weaponry).
