From the book Fall of Reach:
======== FLEETCOM didnt really expect anything to attack the Reach Military Complex. It was the heart of the UNSC military operations. If anything did attack it, the battle would be a short one. There were twenty Super MAC guns in orbit. They could accelerate a three-thousand-ton projectile to point four-tenths the speed of lightand place that projectile with pinpoint accuracy. If that wasnt enough to stop a Covenant fleet, there were anywhere from a hundred to a hundred and fifty ships in the system at any given time. ========
Super MACs fire a 3000 ton projectile at 0.04% the speed of light, and have an impact yield equal to 48 gigatons of TNT.
Most of the UNSC's battleships have smaller MAC guns which fire 600 ton projectiles at 0.01% of the speed of light, giving them an impact yield of 58.6 kilotons of TNT.
