Two cannons were destroyed by a [[M510 Mammoth]] siegework platform deployed to the surface by the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, with [[John-117|Master Chief John-117]] providing targeting for the Mammoth.

The ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'' was equipped with a series of these guns for point-defense purposes. During the [[New Phoenix Incident]], four of these guns protected the [[Composer]] from harm against the ''Infinity'' and [[Battle Group Dakota]], destroying at least one of the ships in the battle group. 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.
