The 35mm Autocannon is a Covenant Loyalist vehicularly-mounted weapon mounted on the Brute Chopper.

It is a semi-automatic 35mm cannon.

The 35mm Autocannon's are the primary offensive asset of Brute Chopper's, and each Brute Chopper is mounted with four linked forward-firing 35mm autocannon's.

This cannon is surprisingly powerful, its ammunition is probably a larger form of the Spiker round.

While it may seem surprising that Brutes would use such human-like ammunition, remember that Brute weaponry is not that different from humans firearms in that they both fire projectiles, not plasma rounds

It most likely uses a Gast firing mechanism.

Tactics

The 35mm Autocannon uses a very powerfull shell, but has a very low rate of fire. Also, the round are too slow for mobile objectives, so you must:

1. Use this gun on short-medium range
2. Lead targets
3. Drive forward or stop momentaneously, because theyre forward mounted on a mobile section of the Chopper
4. Dont use this gun against multiple objectives, avoid multiple combat
