The MAC Blast in use.

The MAC Blast consists of a 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.

Although powerful, it is theorised 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. The Spirit of Fire may use specially designed MAC shells, either smaller or lighter, for orbital bombardment, to prevent collateral damage to allied forces.
