Those would be the M56 Smart Gun.
These huge crane mounted guns are primary offensive and defensive machine. They fire the M250 series round at rapid fire speeds. They have built in IR tracking, which can be converted to movement tracking to aid in enemy location. They do, however, drastically reduce a marine's maneuverability.
They also are programmed with the profiles of the other members of the squad and will stop shooting if pointed at them.
