 * The M43 is an attempt to make a versatile weapon that is effective against infantry and armor. The M43 is the first experimental duel weapon system to be introduced to the UNSC.

The M43 Adaptive Anti Armor System

 * The M43 had the capability to act as a Heavy Machine Gun or a Heavy Grenade Launcher thanks to the revolutionary tripod design. Both turrets can be brought to a battle either on the back of a vehicle or by foot by the four man squad The changing of the turrets head can take place in less then two minutes by a well trained squad and both weapons can be deadly if used correctly.

Tripod Design

 * As both guns that the tripod supports have a high level of recoil that a 'down recoil system' was included. This forces the recoil down on a spring and then returns the gun to its original position. This happens so quickly that the machine gun appears not to move through recoil when firing continuously. The firing does damage the spring so constant checks have to be made to make sure the recoil system is still effective. A night vision scope is mounted on the tripod allowing the gun to be used accurately in low light conditions.
