The '''Magnetic Accelerator Cannon Blast''' or '''Mass Accelerated Cannon''', is a powerful type of ammunition UNSC ships use to [[wikipedia:kinetic bombardment|bombard a ground area from orbit]]. In order to use this devastating weapon, the ship must point its [[MAC|MAC gun]] to the location. These strikes are capable of devastating relatively large areas, and can destroy even [[Covenant]] [[Scarab]] walkers with their strength, but you will need more than one shot.

==Halo Wars==
The "MAC Blast" is used by the [[Spirit of Fire]] to bombard an area of the ground from orbit, using its ship-mounted [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. It's mainly used as a support weapon to help the UNSC penetrate heavy Covenant defenses or big walker units.

==Trivia==
*Although powerful, it is theorized that a real-life strike of similar proportions would rival nuclear warheads in their devastation. Instead, the [[MAC]] blast causes far less damage, though more than enough for the [[UNSC]]'s needs, but they can take down Covenant energy shielding in space combat. They consist of a very heavy tungsten carbide round and the size varies, depending on the type of armament. The {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} may use specially designed MAC shells, either smaller or lighter, for orbital bombardment, to prevent collateral damage to allied forces, or more likely, the rounds are being fired at a lower charge in order to fire so many rounds so rapidly.
*The MAC Blast is similar to the Meteor God Power from Age of Mythology, an RTS game which was also made by Ensemble Studios and also published by Microsoft Games.
