These weapons are are used aboard warships for "point-defense", interception of nearby enemy starfighters<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 272</ref>, while the primary armament of UNSC vessels, typically nuclear weapons or [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s, are used to engage hostile capital warships. | |||
50mm point defense guns are standard armament for UNSC [[Halcyon-class Cruiser|''Halycon''-class Cruiser]]s and are usually controlled by the ship's [[Artificial Intelligence]]<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 19</ref>. | |||
