What Would Occur if a Super MAC Fired into the Planet?

Okay, we had the scene at the end of ONI: Sword Base, but that was likely a low-power shot. If I recall correctly, a super MAC has a yield in the gigatons, though it may have been retconned. That's more than a hundred times the energy of the Tsar Bomba, which was already unimaginably powerful. I'm guessing it could potentially be more effective at glassing a planet than the covenant energy projectors, and possibly even causing earthquakes and tectonic disturbances(I am not a geologist).

  • There cant be nuclear winter...

E.g. No good :( [/quote]
