The '''''Mamua'uda''-pattern Gun Pod'''{{Ref/ | The '''''Mamua'uda''-pattern Gun Pod''',{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=303}} designated as the '''Type-29 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun''' ('''Type-29 ASG''') by the UNSC, is a [[Covenant]] anti-infantry gun turret. It falls under the category of weapons emplacements commonly identified as [[Shade]]s.<ref name="visual">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 171''</ref> One of the oldest models of the Shade, with its history dating back hundreds of years, they are preferred by pious [[shipmaster]]s for their antiquity.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} | ||
==Design details== | |||
The T-29 ASG is mounted on a sturdy tripod, and the seat is floating on top of the said tripod. It fires three rounds of slow, purple plasma bolts at once, and has very limited precision and a medium rate of fire. Unlike the other known Shade variants, it can be moved, but usually by a large force. Its high mobility is used as a compensation for its low protection. The Type-29 Shade is inferior to other Shade models in terms of firepower and accuracy.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | |||
