=== Weapons ===
The cannon fires out a large electric current to pass through the projectile. This current interacts with the strong magnetic fields generated by the cannon and this accelerates the projectile, killing any person equipped with shields and destroying heavy artillery with a overall fire rate acceleration of a 3.2 kg (7.0547 pound) projectile to 2.4 kilometers per second (seven times the speed of sound). The turret is a plasma minigun that has a firing rate of 50 rounds per second. The plasma turret can hold up to 10,000 rounds before having a recharging rate of 5 minutes.
=== Quick Kill active protection system ===
Quick Kill is an active protection system (APS) designed to destroy incoming anti-tank missiles, rockets, and grenades. The Quick Kill system is being designed and produced by THE Sangheili Marine Corps for the Sangheili Marines. The Quick Kill system is part of the Sangheili's Future Combat Systems.
