T261 Lucifer
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The T261 Arm-Mounted Gatling Gun, also known as the Lucifer, is a UNSC Gatling-style machine gun used during the Human-Covenant War.[1][2]
Background
The T261 AMGG's only known use was during the Battle of Algolis. During the battle, a Marine with the call sign "Ghost" used a prototypical powered exoskeleton in defense of the civilians and fellow Marines still on the planet. Ghost used the suit's mounted T261 to take kill a large number of Covenant infantry, shoot down a Type-26 Banshee and destroy a Type-52 Phantom before he was overwhelmed by the invaders. He then activated the suit's nuclear self-destruct system, destroying himself, the suit, and all nearby Covenant forces. Since Ghost was never seen reloading the weapon, it is likely that the Lucifer was able of carrying 800 rounds at one time, four times the amount of the AIE-486H HMG and M247H HMG when detached from their mounts.
Trivia
In Judaism and Christianity, Lucifer is the name of the angel who was cast out of heaven and later became the Devil.
