The Gunfighter Magnum is a variant of the M6H2 magnum of the M6 series of handguns.

Overview

The Gunfighter Magnum is a stripped down variant of the M6H2 that doesn't have the forward trigger guard, under-barrel flashlight nor the smart scope system attached. Due to these modifications, it can be more quickly drawn.

Variants

  • M6H2: The normal variant of the magnum.
  • Whispered Truth: A modified Magnum with a custom slide and suppressor attached. It has a 3-round burst fire and the words: "Semper Vigilans" (Always Vigilant), the motto of the Office of Naval Intelligence engraved on the slide.
  • Tactical Magnum: A variant reminiscent of the Automag with integral baffle-free suppressor, 2× full-VISR Smart-Link, and loaded with armor-piercing rounds. This version is tailored for Spartan force reconnaissance missions.[4]
  • Buck's Magnum: The sidearm of spartan Buck. The Magnum has the Gunfighter body, Whispered Truth slide, and a front iron sight that is seen on the Projection Sight, appearing to have been attached separately
