The AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun is a standard heavy weapon in use by the UNSC for offensive and defensive purposes. It seems to have replaced the UNSC's [[M247 GP Machine Gun]] turret, which was seen in ''[[Halo 2]]'' carried into combat by [[Marines]]. For defensive purposes, it can be mounted on a tripod (M247 GP Machine Gun), but when used for assault, it can be detached from its tripod by a [[SPARTAN-II]]'s brute force. In its unmounted form, while mobile, it has a limited ammunition capacity of 200 rounds and takes time to "warm up" before fully automatic fire, like a standard minigun. | The AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun is a standard heavy weapon in use by the UNSC for offensive and defensive purposes.
