| The '''[[105mm Rail gun]]'''<ref>http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/vehicledepot.aspx#Cobra</ref>, or the '''8 MJ LRG Rail Gun'''<ref>[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]'' page 43</ref> as it was formally known, was a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|magnetic acceleration weapon]] used on the [[SP42 Cobra]] and as a weapon attachment upgrade to a standard [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Firebase|prefabricated base]] [[Base Turret|turret]]. It primarily was designed for use against enemy fortifications, but excelled at taking down vehicles as well. When used on the [[Base Turret]], The Rail Guns add a bonus antivehicle attack to the turret and possess the ability to deliver a super-dense 105mm slug at high speeds to disable vehicles. When used on Cobras, it was usually only fired when in a secure, locked-down position. It could deliver devastating damage at a very long range being able to destroy hostile vehicles with ease. <ref>[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]'' page 30</ref>

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *"8MJ" may refer to 8 Mega-Joules, or the energy required to operate the weapon attachment, but this is just pure speculation.
| |
| *Much like how the [[Base Turret|Base Turret's]] [[M202 XP Machine Gun]] may be detached at will, the Rail Cannons most likely can act as stand-alone weapon emplacements or be attached to other vehicles.
