An experimental version of the MAC was developed to fire three successive rounds on a single capacitor charge. A prototype was mounted on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''</ref> This MAC was specially designed to fire a Tungsten cored shot with a outer casing and on top is a ferrous shell. It basically acts like a normal [[assault rifle |assault rifle's]] shredder rounds, giving the cannon three consecutive blows for one shot, which could supposedly down a Covenant ship with one charge. | An experimental version of the MAC was developed to fire three successive rounds on a single capacitor charge.

The colony ship-turned-warship [[UNSC Spirit of Fire]]'s [[MAC cannon]] is revealed to be unable to penetrate a [[Citadel (Covenant)|Citadel]]'s [[Shield Generator (Covenant)|shield]] in ''[[Halo Wars]]'' in one hit. This might be the result of a weaker, earlier version of the Cannon, or that the Shield is simply very powerful. It is likely though that the ''Spirit of Fire'', being a colony ship refitted for battle, had a weaker MAC gun. | The colony ship-turned-warship [[UNSC Spirit of Fire]]'s [[MAC cannon]] is revealed to be unable to penetrate a [[Citadel (Covenant)|Citadel]]'s [[Shield Generator (Covenant)|shield]] in ''[[Halo Wars]]'' in one hit.
