The M202 XP Machine Gun is a type of automated stationary gun turret [1]. They were obsolete as of 2541 and used only in training the Spartan-III's. They fire Stun Rounds for training and can fire bullets if needed. The gun has a minimum angle of fire; a person can stay out of the cone of fire to avoid getting shot. Their tracking speed is limited, as the Spartan III's were able to stay well ahead of its line of fire.
They are secured to a platform by securing bolts. On the platform, the gun is hooked up by wires to: a radar array that uses radar to target, a power supply that powers the turret, and an automated fire control. They can also be disassembled and be used manually, like a normal gun. For example, this was done in the Spartan III's training to combat the trainers with more than their bare hands.
The M202 is the default armament of the UNSC's automated turrets in Halo Wars.[2]
