The ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'' was equipped with a series of these guns for point-defense purposes.

After John destroyed the guns by targeting their power sources with an [[F-41 Broadsword]], the ''Infinity'' was able to move in close enough to blow a hole in the hull of ''Mantle's Approach'' for John with the ship's primary MAC guns.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', campaign level ''[[Midnight]]''</ref> | The ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'' was equipped with a series of these guns for point-defense purposes.
