The M202 XP machine gun is a type of machine gun. It is used in automated stationary gun turrets. [1] They were obsolete as of 2541, and used only in the training of the Spartan-IIIs. They fire stun rounds for training and can fire bullets if needed.
The automated stationary gun used in the training of Spartan-IIIs has a minimum angle of fire; a person can stay out of the cone of fire to avoid getting shot. Their tracking speed is limited, as the Spartan-III's were able to stay well ahead of its line of fire. They are secured to a platform by securing bolts. On the platform, the gun is hooked up by wires to: a radar array that uses radar to target, a power supply that powers the turret, and an automated fire control. They can also be disassembled and be used manually, like a normal gun. For example, this was done in the Spartan-III's training to combat the trainers with more than their bare hands.
The UNSC also had M202s mounted in automated base defense turrets during the early stages of the Human-Covenant War. The platforms had three M202XP MGs mounted, and they were more sophisticated than those used in the training of Spartan-IIIs, allowing for a larger field of fire.[2]
