M68 ALIM

[edit]
M68

The M68 Asynchronous Linear-Induction Motor, more commonly known as the M68 Gauss Cannon, is a weapon that fires hyper-velocity, high-density projectiles similar to those of a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, except on a much smaller scale. It can be mounted on a stationary stand, or on the rear of the M12G1 Warthog LAAV.

M555 EL

[edit]
M555

The M555 Electromagnetic Launcher, more commonly known as the gauss turret, is a heavy weapon featured in Halo 5: Guardians. It was employed by the UNSC in conflicts after the Requiem Campaign. As support weapons, picking up the gauss turret would result in a lack of mobility.

M92 Principle Gauss Cannon

[edit]

The M92 Principal Gauss Cannon is a weapons carried on UNSC Booster Frames. The weapon functions similar to a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, on a much smaller scale. The M92 PGC comprises the primary weaponry of the Booster Frame, and runs the entire length of the craft.

LRG Rail Gun

[edit]
LRG Rail Gun
LRG Rail Gun

The LRG Rail Gun is a combined anti-vehicle/anti-structure weapons system mounted on the SP42 Cobra self-propelled artillery vehicle, designed for engaging enemy armored vehicles and structures, using a pair of combining Railguns. The individual railguns are also able to be mounted on a UNSC prefabricated base turret for use as a static defensive measure.


M2488 Onager MAC

[edit]
M2488

The Mark/2488 1.1GJ MAC, also known as the Onager or "mass driver," was a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon used by the United Nations Space Command during the Human-Covenant war. An upgraded version, the Mark 2551 Portable Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, is in use after the war.

The Onager is capable of firing a 15 cm round with up to 1.1 gigajoules of kinetic energy. It has five linearly arranged magnetic coils, each of which needs to charge individually before each powerful shot. Additionally, the weapon needs to cool off after every shot, and does so by opening a radial vent on the upper portion of the barrel. The weapon is operated from a small booth on the left side of the cannon.

M2551 Onager MAC

[edit]
M2551

The Mark 2551/25 cm Portable Magnetic Accelerator Cannon is an upgraded variant of the Mark 2488 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon developed by Misriah Armory and is used on both UNSC Infinity and Ivanoff Research Station.

Mark 2547/35cm HRG

[edit]

The Mark 2547/35cm HRG is the main weapon on the M510 Mammoth S/UHMAAWP.

Magnetic Acceleration Cannon

[edit]

The Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, also known as Mass Accelerator Cannon, MAC Gun and MAC Cannon, is a large coilgun that serves as the primary offensive weapon for UNSC warships. Larger versions are used as orbital defense platforms. MAC guns are the only non-nuclear weapons in the UNSC arsenal capable of effectively reducing or destroying Covenant capital ships' energy shields. Smaller shipborne versions can take as many as three hits to overload a shield while an orbital platform can put a hole through any Covenant vessel even with fully charged shields. The Magnetic Accelerator Cannon should not be confused with the Railgun, despite their superficial similarities. An Onager-class cannon is capable of disabling a CCS-class battlecruiser, with its shielding down.
