M11 Autocannon

The M11 Autocannon was a throw back to the simpler days of conflicts, where the largest amount of shells put into a enemy would achieve victory. Gradually phased out in favour of more high tech missile of Gauss Weaponary, with the desperate times of the Human-Covenant War, it again saw action.

The M11 is a simple weapon, often deployed as a squad support/defensive weapon, being mounted on a tripod. It is gas operated and belt fed, drawing ammo in from an attached tin, drum or belt. Though less capable of the armor penetration possible with the 90mm AT gun on the Scorpion, or the M68 Gauss Gun found on the M12G1 LAAV, it does have effective light anti armor and anti infantry properties, being able to kill even shielded Covenant units in a shot.

The weapon comes with an additional computer suite, much similar to the MA5 series rifle. It records ammo but also provides a tactical scope in different modes, such as thermal or night vision, a distance calculator and TACCOM link.

The M11 has a wide number of shells that provide extra versalitiy to an already effective gun.
 * HE Shell: Steel jacket with pressure sensative delay fuse for RDX filler. Used in anti infantry operations
 * Incendiary: steel jacket with napalm core. Used in anti infantry, anti vehicle (open) and anti infatry in wooded or forested area operations.
 * AP Shell: Steel jacket, lead filler, titanium core, used in anti vehicle operations.
 * Sabot Discarding: Titanium spike, foam sabots, all encased in shell, rarely used due to jamming. Used in anti vehicle operations.
 * AP-HE Shell: Steel jacket, Titanium cone underneath, C-12 filler. Commonly used dual purpose shell.
