Shielded Plasma Cannon

The Shielded Plasma Cannon is featured in Halo 2, where it is referred to as "Large Plasma Turret". This new plasma turret replaces the Shade in Halo 1. This stationary turret fires slow moving red plasma bolts that do large amounts of damage. To protect the gunner, this turret is equipped with an energy shield, similar to the Jackal Personal Arm Shield. If you want a more detailed look, start the campaign level Delta Halo or while playing the campaign level Great Journey when you are in the banshee shooting enemies and turrets down, as well as when inside the control room when there are brutes manning them.

It is interesting to note that the shield is strong enough to survive a blast from a Wraith.
