==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
The M247H is an air-cooled, gas-operated, electrically fired, linkless-fed weapon that fires [[Wikipedia:.50 BMG|12.7mm High Velocity, Explosive rounds]]. It is generally used to provide suppressing fire, point-to-point cover fire, and, predominantly, direct fire in an anti-personnel role, though it is also capable of destroying light vehicles with relative ease.<ref name=" | The M247H is an air-cooled, gas-operated, electrically fired, linkless-fed weapon that fires [[Wikipedia:.50 BMG|12.7mm High Velocity, Explosive rounds]].

Due to its light weight and ease of use, it is used at most UNSC bases and high-priority sites. Reports indicate that personnel have been seen firing the M247H from the hip to pursue enemies beyond the fixed weapon's range, though such situations are unlikely unless performed by a [[SPARTAN Program|Spartan]].<ref name="EVG"/> Even so, such reports remain unsubstantiated.<ref name="Waypoint"/> | Due to its light weight and ease of use, it is used at most UNSC bases and high-priority sites.

*Like the AIE-486H HMG featured in ''Halo 3'', if the Infinite Ammo setting is active, the detached turret will not have unlimited ammunition. However, if the Bottomless Clip setting is enabled, detached turrets will have infinite ammunition. | *Like the AIE-486H HMG featured in ''Halo 3'', if the Infinite Ammo setting is active, the detached turret will not have unlimited ammunition.
