 One possible influence on the design of the weapon is the [[wikipedia:Walther P99|Walther P99]]. Another possible influence could be the [[Wikipedia: FP-45 Liberator|FP-45 Liberator]], a weapon designed in the United States during World War II. The long handle, but short barrel is an obvious feature.
-It is possible that the M6G is the [[UNSC]] Marine Corps Standard Sidearm, as the M6C seems to use older technology, and the M6D seems to use technology reserved for [[Spartan-II]]s and other Spec-Ops units. That would mean, that the M6C is the Navy's variant of the M6 line.
-Due to the numbering of the M6C, that would mean that this pistol went into production before the D and G variants, meaning the M6C was around before ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', which uses the M6D. This supports the idea that the M6C uses older technology. This is supported by the fact that it appears in Halo Wars.
-Also, in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' the M6D was issued as the crew were given those weapons for the special mission. In ''Halo 2'', the M6C was the standard issue, yet old, sidearm for the Navy and Marine forces defending Earth. The M6G came in during the rearmament for the request for new weapons to help defend Earth during the [[Battle of Earth]].
