Will fix.

Factual errors or spelling errors?

I was thinking of the "knife fight" image that appears sometimes on halo.bungie.com. OTOH, a weapon that had absolutely no effect on the enemy probably wouldn't be in the game in the first place ;) But I'll remove anything that hasn't been explicitly said.

Will fix.

Will fix.

Not sure what you mean...

> Have we seen any recent pictures of the minigun?

Nope.

> Is there a more recent pic of the defoliator?

Yes, but its appearance doesn't seem to have changed, and that is the best picture of it we could find.

> Do we really know that the 'light tank' is armed with a 'medium

The tank was once described as a "scout tank", which implies low-powered weapons. But I'll take that out.

The self-propelled artillery theory was based on a series of posts by either Xian or Noctavis. It seemed to make sense at the time...
