Numerous starfighters in service with the [[UNSC]] are equipped with machine-linked autocannons. These include exoatmospheric craft like [[GA-TL1 Longsword]]s, [[YSS-1000 Sabre]]s, [[F-41 Broadsword]]s, and even suborbital bombers like the [[B-65 Shortsword]]. Several models of the autocannon exist, while the calibre of the rounds ranging from 30mm to 50mm. The autocannons are very effective in engaging hostile spacecraft, such as [[Phantom]]s and [[Type-31 Seraph]]s.<ref name="HRmanual">''[[Halo: Reach]]'', Game Manual</ref><ref>''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''</ref> | Numerous starfighters in service with the [[UNSC]] are equipped with machine-linked autocannons.
