| The '''MAC Blast''' consists of an [[wikipedia:kinetic bombardment|orbital bombardment]] by the [[Spirit of Fire]] from orbit of an area of the ground, using its ship-mounted [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. These strikes are capable of devastating relatively large areas, and can destroy even [[Covenant]] [[Scarab]] walkers with their strength.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| Although powerful, it is theorized that a real-life strike of similar proportions would rival nuclear warheads in their devastation. Instead, the [[MAC]] Blast causes far less damage, though more than enough for the [[UNSC]]'s needs, but they can take down Covenant energy shielding in space combat. They consist of a very heavy tungsten carbide round and the size varies, depending on the type of armament. The {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} may use specially designed MAC shells, either smaller or lighter, for orbital bombardment, to prevent collateral damage to allied forces, or more likely, the rounds are being fired at a lower charge in order to fire so many rounds so rapidly.
