| ===Design details===
| |
| The Lucifer AMGG takes the form of a six-barrelled rotary cannon, capable of firing 2,980 20mm high-explosive rounds per minute.{{Ref/NoteReuse|ROF}} The weapon is capable of carrying at least roughly 800 rounds without needing to reload, and is mounted directly into the right arm of the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS|Mark I Armor Defense System]]. The Lucifer features a bulky armoured housing.{{Ref/Reuse|Prototype}} A visually similar weapon, presumably the T621, was later integrated into the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I (J) Green Machine|Mark I [J<nowiki>]</nowiki>]] ADS. Unlike the Lucifer found on the regular Mark I ADS, this version was mounted atop the left forearm, allowing the suit's operator full use of their hand when not employing the weapon.{{Ref/Game|Id=HW2|HW2|Sergeant Johnson in-game unit}}

| ==Operational history==
| | The '''T261 Arm-Mounted Gatling Gun''', also known as the '''Lucifer''', is a UNSC Gatling-style machine gun used during the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[Prototype]]''</ref><ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us#/intel/theuniverse/tech/gallery/prototype/b053d1dc-912b-401b-bb9e-2909d1028c31?filter=all '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Prototype'']</ref> |
| The T261 AMGG was employed during the [[Algolis Invasion]]. During the battle, a Marine with the call sign "[[Ghost (Marine)|Ghost]]" took the [[Weapons Research Facility T12A|research facility's]] Mark I ADS prototype, and used it in defense of the civilians and fellow Marines still on the planet. Ghost used the suit's mounted T261 to take kill a large number of Covenant infantry, shoot down a {{Pattern|Irdnekt|Banshee}} and destroy a {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}} before he was overwhelmed by the invaders. He then activated the suit's [[Nuclear weapon|nuclear]] self-destruct system, destroying himself, the suit and all nearby Covenant forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Prototype}} | |

| Although the Algolis research facility was destroyed in the battle, data was recovered from its ruins and used to create the Mark I [J] "Green Machine", which appears to integrate a weapon visually akin to the T621 Lucifer.{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/folks-need-heroes|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Folks Need Heroes|D=02|M=10|Y=2020}}
| | ==Background== |
| | The T261 AMGG's only known use was during the [[Battle of Algolis]]. During the battle, a Marine with the call sign "[[Ghost (Marine)|Ghost]]" used a [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Armor Defense System|prototypical powered exoskeleton]] in defense of the civilians and fellow Marines still on the planet. Ghost used the suit's mounted T261 to take kill a large number of Covenant infantry, shoot down a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] and destroy a [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom dropship]] before he was overwhelmed by the invaders. He then activated the suit's nuclear self-destruct system, destroying himself, the suit, and all nearby Covenant forces. Since Ghost was never seen reloading the weapon, it is likely that the Lucifer was able of carrying 800 rounds at one time, four times the amount of the [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun|AIE-486H HMG]] and [[M247H Heavy Machine Gun|M247H HMG]] when detached from their mounts. |
