User:-AR-/M601 GARGOYLE Sentry Gun

The M601 Automated Turret is a fully-automated machine gun turret in use by the UNSC. With an ocular lense to view targets, along with an internal IFF Friend or Foe indentifier, in addition to Night and Thermal vision modes, the M601 is able to accurately pin-point hostile forces and bring down a hail of suppressive fire. M601 Turrets are all linked to the UNSC War Net, and are able to receive information regarding the location of hostile snipers and soldiers; in addition, M601 Turrets may be ordered to pursue single targets within their effective range. Malfunctions with M601 units are astoundingly low, and the turret itself rarely experiences technical problems or programming errors.

M601 Turrets must be carried and deployed by UNSC Personnel on the field, but once they are set up and ready, they require little assistance other than the occasional required reload. Typically reloads are not frequent, as M601 Turrets very often dispatch targets with 5-round bursts; sustained fire is only used when hostiles are approaching en masse, or when targets continually evade bursts.
