==Overview== | The '''M20/Personal Defense Weapon'''<ref name="universe"/> is the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-Covenant war]] successor to the [[M7 SMG]].<ref name="CF"/> | ||
==Specifications== | |||
===Overview=== | |||
Developed as a response to the Insurrection and the Covenant, the weapon is issued to UNSC vehicle and aircraft crews, security personnel, and Spartans who expect close-quarters combat,<ref name="CF"/> and has been adopted by a number of UEG security forces.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> | |||

Otherwise, the weapon is very similar, featuring an adjustable grip under the weapon and a telescoping stock which can be retracted, allowing the weapon to be fired one-handed. Although the most commonly issued model features a [[CQB sight]] attachment, the weapon also accomodated an array of extended barrels, sound suppressors, laser targeters and recoil stabilizers. The weapon is also compatible with kinetic bolts that impart more kinetic energy to the target, and can be equipped with an energy bayonet.<ref name="H5G"/> | ||
