The Man Cannon device tosses a player through the air to another part of the map. The user is said to be unprotected while in mid-air, but can still attack other players. It is much like the Covenant's Gravity Lift technology, possibly the Covenant learned this from the Forerunners. The Man Cannon works as a kind of replacement for the teleporter, but the teleporter may still exist in other maps yet shown.

While the name specifies a man, the cannon will launch anything that enters it. Unfortunately, its strength will be diminished on heavy objects such as Warthogs, and not launch them as far.[1]

As of now, this device has only been featured in the Halo 3 Multiplayer map Valhalla.
