The '''Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon'''<ref>''"All post-2549 model Wraiths have an extended crew area with a Type-52 DESW in a ring mount."'' (http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/CareerStats.aspx?player=Digipatd)</ref>, otherwise known as the '''Plasma Cannon''', is a manned automatic [[plasma]] turret in use by the [[Covenant]].


It serves its purpose as a squad support weapon, used for suppressing enemies and defending [[Covenant]] positions. It is carried, deployed and crewed by green-armored [[Gunner Grunt|Gunner Grunts]], in addition to being wielded portably by some higher-ranking Brutes. It is carried and operated in a similar fashion to the [[M247 General Purpose Machine Gun|M247 GPMG]] made by the [[UNSC]]. It has an approximate 65 degree turn radius and 50 degree pitch. It fires plasma bolts similar to those of the [[Covenant]] [[Plasma Rifle]], and fires around 300 rounds per minute. A battery or plasma core is built into the tripod which allows the gun to fire indefinitely. When removed from the tripod, the gun can only use the 200 units of power that the gun itself contains.
