I had to remove the bit in the article about the AIE-486H replacing the Warthog's LAAG. Despite the similarity of both weapons, Frankie's [http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BAGwarthog article on the Warthog] states that it still uses the M41 LAAG.

::The MG in Reach is totally different from the AIE-486H, both visually and structurally. I think the stats page may be a case of some content from Halo 3 being carried over to Reach; I find it hard to believe they'd change the appearance that much when they could simply give it a different designation. Plus, I think the people who work on the game stats content aren't the same people who manage canon; errors like this can happen, especially considering how this is still the beta and not everything is polished.

:::Agreed Jugus. It's interesting to note that almost every weapon (even the returning ones from H3) has a new description from H3 except for the nades, the AR, and the HMG.  And you already have people over at the MA37 talk page trying to merge it with MA5C solely because of a similar descrepancy. Honestly, an extremely likely explanation is that a couple of tags in the template weren't changed. I'm not saying that Bungie wouldn't redo an entire weapon. It's disappointing but no surprise. I'm just saying that it is extremely important that those borrowed H3 info tags in the beta carnage reports be regarded with skepticism.--[[User talk:Nerfherder1428|Nerfherder1428]] 03:03, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
::::Considering the amount of updates and fixes Bungie added throughout the Beta phase, one could question why they didn't bother changing the so-called typos we see in the game or in the post-carnage reports. This is true to previous Halo titles where Bungie could easily corrected the so-called typos in the weapon through title-updates but chose not to do so. Perhaps Bungie intended to name them the way they want it to be?

Anyone with half a brain can tell that the turret in Reach is not an AIE-486H. They are two completely different weapons. They are structurally different, and the AIE is a rotary-barreled machine gun, I only see 1 barrel on this thing.--[[User talk:FluffyEmoPenguin|FluffyEmoPenguin]] 23:16, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

== Separate page proposal ==
The turret in Halo: Reach is obviously not an AIE-486H or even a variant of it. We can all tell. The only thing the two turrets share in common is their in-game functions. Aside from that, the Reach turret looks completely different, it is a completely different type of machine gun (a single-barreled instead of a triple rotary-barreled), and the ammunition box on the side says "12mm HVE" which is a completely different round. The only info to confirm its designation as an AIE-486H is the Bungie.net carnage reports. The description is the exact same as the turret in Halo 3, leading me to believe it was just copied and pasted or a section that was untouched when they used the Halo 3 template. So, I propose that we give this new turret a separate page titled "Unidentified UNSC Heavy Machine Gun" or something of the sort.--[[User talk:FluffyEmoPenguin|FluffyEmoPenguin]] 15:40, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I think we have sufficient evidence to tell that this is not an AIE-486H. The career stats seem to be shaky info as a few weapons have been misnamed (the assault rifle and plasma cannon) and most weapons seem to have been named in a very informal way. I think that even though it is technically Bungie canon, it is kind of unreliable. We should go ahead and make the new page in my opinion.
'''Evidence Disproving the AIE-486H Name:'''
1) The Halo: Reach Beta's career stats description is the exact same as Halo 3's career stats description. This describes the turret as "''...slow to spin up to full firing rate.''", which is a characteristic only found in the Halo 3 turret.
2) The ammunition box on the Reach turret says "12mm HVE", a very different round than the 7.62mm used by the AIE.
3) The most obvious evidence, they are two completely different types of machine guns. There is no way they could have the exact same name.

Something I just noticed. The turret mounted on the Scorpion in the Beta is called an M247, the same as the Halo 3 Scorpion's turret and Halo 2 stand-alone turret. This can't be right as the turret on the Reach Scorpion is the same weapon as the Reach turret in its stand-alone form. I think this is further evidence that Bungie's career stats should no longer be taken seriously.--[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Penguin</span>]] 20:30, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

== Ammunition theories ==
To make this clear, I'm not suggesting that we change anything on the page yet, I'm just throwing out some theories. This weapon is classified as a heavy machine gun, yet it is stated to use a 7.62x51mm round, too small to make this weapon classified as "heavy". I would like to know where the info on which round this turret uses came from. I know it says "7.62mm" on the turret boxes in forge, but those same boxes say "M247" on them, (the turret from Halo 2 which uses the 7.62mm), so it could be a mistake. The turret in Halo: Reach says "12mm HVE" on its ammunition box; this would classify it as a heavy machine gun for sure. Although I think we're on the general consensus that this turret was misnamed in the carnage reports as the AIE-486H. Even so, these two turrets share the same firing sound and power, meaning that they would most likely use the same round. Another point to bring up, the NMPD officers in Halo 3: ODST call it a ".50", so this could be even further evidence.--[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Penguin</span>]] 16:34, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
And a few more points (that I forgot to add), the real-life M134 minigun has 6 rotating barrels and uses the 7.62x51mm. It can achieve a rate of fire of 3000 RPM, whereas the AIE-486H can only achieve 600 RPM. Since it has 3 barrels instead of 6, I would guess it would have around half the rate of fire (1500 RPM) but it is still nowhere near that. A good assumption would be that the AIE uses a higher caliber round and is indeed a true HMG. In my final point, look at the ammunition belt feeding into the AIE. It looks much more like .50 caliber ammunition to me. It is almost identical to the belt feeding into the Warthog's .50 caliber M41 LAAG turret.--[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Penguin</span>]] 19:59, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
:The 7.62mm designation on the AIE-486H was probably just something Bungie carried over from Halo 2, to save time, similiar to what you stated. 343 then proceeded to use the information on the box for their mention of the gun. When Bungie updated the turret in Halo: Reach (which I believe is an Army variant of the gun) they updated the designation as well. In the end, I think it's a minor mistake on Bungie, that when more information is released, will be fixed. --[[user:Sgt.T.N.Biscuits|Bl]][[user_talk:Sgt.T.N.Biscuits|a]][[Special:Contributions/Sgt.T.N.Biscuits|h]] 20:10, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

::To contribute somewhat belatedly, a Wikipedia search the other night told me that a 7.62mm SLAP round consists of your average 7.62mm bullet held inside a sabot, allowing it to fit in a .50 calibre barrel. This would suggest to me that the AIE-486H is a .50 cal HMG that in addition to saboted 7.62mm rounds for armour penetration, it can also fire full-sized .50 cal ammo.--[[User talk:The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari|The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari]] 17:51, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
:::I'd also like to point out that we've never really had an 'official' say at what round it fires. The 7.62mm came from the boxes, which were incorrectly labelled (as mentioned above!) but in the in-game dialogue, it is ''always'' referred to as a 'fifty-cal' or 'fifty' in both the Halo 3 campaign and in Halo 3: ODST. It would make sense for it to be .50 in terms of its heavy machine-gun status and the amount of damage it does, but apparently in-game dialogue isn't good enough for this wiki. For some reason. Because lets be honest, there is more evidence saying it fires .50 rounds rather than 7.62mm SLAP rounds. (grump over) [[User talk:Diaboy|Diaboy]] 01:16, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Is there any other information on this weapons effective range (Bungie updates, ect.)? The [[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]] lists it's effective range at 100 meters yet the far less effective [[M247 General Purpose Machine Gun]] from Halo 2 is stated in the Encyclopedia to have a range of 1,100 meters. I don't want to add the range of 100 meters, because it seems to be a mistake. --[[user:Sgt.T.N.Biscuits|Bl]][[user_talk:Sgt.T.N.Biscuits|a]][[Special:Contributions/Sgt.T.N.Biscuits|h]] 19:03, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

i purpose that the halo reach version should be moved to it's own article, although they have the same name (which i'm sure it's only a typo by Bungie)since you can clearly see from the images provided that the Halo 3 version and the Reach version are completely diferent weapons, they're very style design is completely diferent, the H3 is of a gatling-style, while the reach is of normal single barrel design--[[User talk:Fipas|Fipas]] 19:17, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
:I REALLY wish we could, but we cannot call it anything else because the only name that has been given to it is the AIE-486H, no matter how bogus it is. I think that eventually we will get a new name for it, possibly when Bungie updates their Ordnance page.--[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Penguin</span>]] 05:05, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
