Lord Admiral Shadow of the Special Warfare division 9

Just like the title says, but 3 conditions. 1, NO God-mod hyper strength to blow the entire universe or destroying existence strength detonations. 2, use whatever you feel is needed to achieve strength of said MAC round. 3, make sure if you use hyper detonations, keep it contained and logical.


Ghost 0 Halyon incinerator MAC round

Round Size: 15 feet in length

Build materials: Titanium-A, Vanadium steel, depleted uranium cores, Halyon incinerator gas chamber

Detonation radius: 35 square miles

Detonation type: Incineration

Info: The Ghost 0 Halyon Incinerator MAC round was built as the one thing nobody would think they needed. A world incinerating MAC round that can burn an entire whole in a planet. The round itself requires a Ghost 2 Siridan-class MAC cannon to be fired from. When fired, the round speeds to its target on a hyper vector to its target. When the round impacts the area, a flux between the uranium, the detonation and the Halyon gas takes place. The flux causes the ignition of the deadly Halyon incinerator gas, which in turn with the explosion, burns at a temperature of 5,000 degree's kelvin (correct me if kelvin is wrong).

I quote one guy's completely whacko MAC round.

Nova-tipped MAC round.

The tip of this MAC round is a NOVA bomb, or a portion of one.

I'm not sure what you're looking for.

"Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing" -- Proverbs 12:18

Mac round name: ProXxMlGquikSkoPz round.

Round Size: 60 Feet long.

Build: Cardboard and duct-tape

Detonation range: 1 light year.

Type: Classified

Info: It's stuffed with 350 mini nova bombs. It can blow up 9 tenths of the universe.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

Considering MAC rounds punch right though covenant ships. Having a specialized tip would be inappropriate.

"That MAC gun can put a round clean through a Covenant Capital Ship."
Sergeant Johnson

Not only that but a NOVA bomb.

This would be detrimental. As noted

"It should be noted that on the one recorded event when a NOVA Bomb was detonated in the midst of a fleet close to the planet Joyous Exultation, it scorched one quarter of the planet's surface due to a high concentration of thermal energy inside the planet's atmosphere; it also shattered a nearby moon"

This would not help planetary defense, it would help destroy it. However on the other hand for an offensive strike, it would be beneficial.

Hence, whacko. The guy who suggested that loved doing the last resort tactics first.

"Five enemy troops in the hanger? abandon ship! set self destruct!" His plan for destroying the supercarrier in Reach involved swarming it with every longsword on the planet...

He had this odd love for flood and nova bombs, trying to put them everywhere in the future halo setting we are doing.

sweet, I love threads like this...! have a list of MAC rounds from some of my 'short stories', some of them specialist and some just for sheer nastiness, non of them over the top, ultra exotic rounds.

Ripper MAC Round

Length: 24 Feet

Material: Iron (Core), Carbon (around Core), Tungsten (Projectiles)

Operation: Fired as normal MAC round, projectile reaches pre-set 'stand-off' range from target, explosive charge detonates separating twelve thirteen feet long Tungsten sub-munitions. Similar effect to Buck Shot fired from a shotgun, only recommended for use against vessels with no shielding remaining, for maximum widespread damage (decompression, structural damage, power distribution damage, etc.), untested against shielded vessels. Can also be used in ground assault for more dispersed damage pattern, causes lower localised damage than standard MAC round.

  • 04.08.2011 2:55 PM PDT

Heavy MAC Round

Length: 120 Feet

Composition: Lead core Approx. 50 foot radius, Iron inner casing approx. 27 foot radius, outer casing of ultra-hardened Tungsten alloy

Requirements: Heavy MAC, with a 61 Gigawatt capacity

Power: 480^18 Giga Joules, or the equivalent of 180,000,000,000,000 tons of TNT

Projectile Speed: 98% the speed of light

Cost per firing: 123,000,000 cR

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

Lucky Shot MAC Round:
A Mac round which can punch a hole through seven Covenant corvettes. It never misses; you can even aim at friendly forces, and the enemy will blow up.

  • 04.08.2011 4:16 PM PDT

OP, I think your original 'rules' have been wildly misunderstood, would saying create a MAC round that doesn't totally break the Halo Universe be more appropriate, because most of the examples so far have been insane and don't in the remotest way fit into any possible Halo Universe.

  • 04.08.2011 5:05 PM PDT

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)


M881 Planet Buster MAC round

Round size: 10 meters long 4 wide

Detonation type: thermonuclear.

Info: For long periods of time it was thought to be impossible to load a warhead on a MAC round do to the sheer force imparted on the projectile when launched out of the tube. The M881 however has found a way around this problem. Inside the tip of the round is a 5 gram mass of thermiteplutonium mixture and a detonator. Connected to it through a small tube inside the round is a larger mass of Uranium 138. When the round hit's its intended target, the heat and overpreasure ignite the thermite/plutonium, which activates the Uranium.

The equivalent would be that of around an 8 megaton nuclear explosion. This includes the added EM Pulse. Making it very effective against Covenant shields.

like the one above, a Gun nuclear weapon in a MAC round, sounds cool, could also picture them using it in the Halo Universe since its not insane overpowered. the working principles are here:

  • 04.08.2011 6:09 PM PDT

Shape Up or Ship Out*

Don't really know the technical stuff you guys are saying but here's something you can use as a round. A standard mac round but inside is a nova nuclear warhead. From it being inside, it will have a mini computer to be able to notice a change in velocity (from impact) and then detonate when this change occurs. Because a mere impact from a mac round can cause damage and drain a covenant shield to 2/3, it could make the nova bomb still effective enough to cause significant damage to any ship, maybe besides a carrier with 110% of its energy put into the shield system. thoughts of the concept of having a nova in the mac round

Here's a (slightly) more plausible one than those previously mentioned.

UHVTSMAC (Ultra High Velocity Two Stage Magnetic Accelerator Cannon)

Since it is impossible to accelerate a projectile to anywhere near the speed of light from any stationary platform (sorry zak2014, blame Einstein) this station gets around this problem by using explosives on the back of the projectile to continue to accelerate it after exiting the barrel of the MAC. (since the explosives are already traveling with the round it is possible for them to accelerate the round further without the handicap put on it by relativity.

Using this system a 5000 kilogram tungsten-carbide round is accelerated to 150,000,000 M/S (roughly 50% of the speed of light).

This gives the round a kinetic energy of 5.625 * 10^19 Joules, or 13.39 gigatons.

*Disclaimer* I know the numbers are unrealistic.

Ah, yes, Einstein and his theory of relativity, and theoretically it is possible to achieve 99.99% the speed of light, but that's as far as it is possible, since the speed of light would continue to rise, but 98% is theoretically possible

As the velocity of a mass approaches the speed of light (in your frame of reference) the amount of energy needed to accelerate it increases with a limit that approaches infinity. So even accelerating an object to 98% of the speed of light would take massive amounts of energy.

I am just guessing that 61 gigawatts won't get your 150 foot hunk of dense metals to anywhere near 98% of the speed of light.

It would be a bit more than that. About 1.086076743^26 or 108,607,674,300,000,000,000,000,000 joules to be exact. Meaning it would be 108,607,674,300 Petajoules.

That equals 25,957,857,150,000,000 tons of TNT. 25,957,857,150 Gigatons.

61 Gigawatts wouldn't even be near to launch it with 98% of speed of light.

Really, at that point, you should probably just fire off a Halo, I imagine the effect would be similar.
