| ==Overview==
| | The '''M92 Principle Gauss Cannon''' is a [[weapon]] carried on [[UNSC]] [[Open Frame 92/Extra-Vehicular Activity|Booster Frames]]. The weapon functions similar to a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], albeit on a much smaller scale. The M92 PGC comprises the primary weaponry of the Booster Frame, and runs the entire length of the craft. It has a very long charging time, making it somewhat difficult to use in combat.<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[The Package (animated short)|The Package]]''</ref> |
| ===Design details===
| |
| The M92 is a long-barrelled coilgun that forms the primary integral component of the OF92 Booster Frame, running the entire length of the craft and forming the basic structural core of the OF92 To fire, the M92 has a lengthy charging process, meaning that the weapon cannot be fired often while the Booster Frame is in flight - though when fires is capable of breaching even the [[Nanolaminate]] armour plating of a [[Covenant starship]].{{Ref/Film|Id=Package|HLeg|Story=The Package (animated short)}} | |
| | |
| ===Usage===
| |
| The M92 was developed in the [[Human-Covenant War]] for use on the OF92 Booster Frame, and saw use in [[Operation: WARM BLANKET]].{{Ref/Reuse|Package}} They continued to see service in the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts]].{{Ref/Comic|HE|Issue=5}} | |
