The MBS-9M Hydra is a .50 caliber three-barrel heavy machine gun used by the RDA's SecOps. The three Hydra's barrels fire in full-automatic mode simultaneously in a sequential fashion, but the barrel assembly does not spin like a gatling gun. Each barrel fires .50 caliber depleted uranium kinetic penetrators at 2000 rounds per minute, resulting in a cumulative fire rate of 6000 rpm.

Norm gun

Norm uses a MBS-9M Hydra to kill an RDA pilot in Avatar: The High Ground

The Hydra is seen used as a standard-issue defensive door gun on the Aerospatiale SA-2 Samson. Trudy's Samson had two Hydras, one on either side of the aircraft, which were remotely fired by Trudy during the Assault on the Tree of Souls.

When the Valkyrie was refitted as a cluster bomber, Hydras were used for fixed-point defense by SecOps gunners against the Na'vi aerial contingent. In Avatar: The Game, the RDA uses turret-based versions of the weapon to defend key areas.
