In ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', the Hornet's missile launcher is erroneously identified as being on the nose of the aircraft. The Class-2 GMLS caption points at the vehicle's nose-mounted targeting, sensor and camera array.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | In ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', the Hornet's missile launcher is erroneously identified as being on the nose of the aircraft.

In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the missiles fired by the M651 launchers on the Hornet reuse the model of the [[ASGM-4 missile|M5607 ASGM-4 missile]] fired from the [[LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod]] weapon. Both sets of missiles in-game demonstrate broadly similar gameplay properties for tracking and explosive radius and damage, indicating that the two are intended to be one and the same in ''Halo'' canon. In ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' multiplayer, the Hornet reuses the model for the [[M19 missile]] - a surface-to-surface missile fired by the [[M41 SPNKr]] rocket launchers. Given that the M19 is much larger and explicitly a surface-to-surface missile, this article assumes the M5607 | In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the missiles fired by the M651 launchers on the Hornet reuse the model of the [[ASGM-4 missile|M5607 ASGM-4 missile]] fired from the [[LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod]] weapon.
