well the Halo 2 scarab has a secondary turret also... the needler type thing.... ( i wish there was a shoulder mounted "super needler" that grunts carried that fired a large needler shot... that exploded in mid air... and then sent several normal needle bolts out in all directions..... (i think there was somethiing like that in the book?

They did fire something similar that at Fred, Kelly, and Joshua as they were attacking the Covvie Cruiserin First Strike. Fred saw that they were about as big as is fore arm and one of the secondary fragments was what brought Joshua's Banshee down.
