| The '''M6G Personal Defense Weapon System''' ('''PDWS''') is a handgun in [[Misriah Armory]]'s [[M6 series]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=165}} | |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview== | | ==Introduction== |
| ===Design details===
| | {{WepList}} |
| The M6G PDWS is a semi-automatic, recoil-operated, magazine-fed, large-caliber handgun.{{Ref/Site|Id=BNet|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=ordnance&cid=25441|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Halo: Reach ordnance - Magnum|D=07|M=02|Y=2021}} The weapon has a polymer handle, along with a titanium alloy body and an electroless nickel-plate finish.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/theuniverse/tech/gallery/magnum/f4c403d6-269e-499a-ac14-9a696e0a5b27|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Magnum|D=20|M=09|Y=2011|LocalArchive=Archive:Halo Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Universe/Weapons#Magnum}} The sidearm fires the M225 SAP-HE (Semi-Armor Piercing, High Explosive) rounds from an 8 to 12-round magazine.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} In addition, the weapon can be issued with a [[KFA-2 x2]] optical, smart-linked scope.{{Ref/Reuse|BNet}}{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | | The M6G is a typical UNSC sidearm. It fires with a relatively fast rate of fire and good accuracy. Unlike its predecessor, the M6D HE Pistol, it does not possess a scope.<ref>http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6247905&postcount=49</ref> |
|
| |
|
| The M6G has a higher rate of fire than the [[M6G2 magnum]] modification package, though its accuracy suffers slightly as a result. The slide is tapered at the rear and sports forward-facing, diagonal serrations. The magazine release is set above and parallel to the lower lip of the trigger; the magazine's lip is shaped like an irregular trapezoid. The striker juts farther from the slide, reminiscent of a hammer. This model is equipped with an underslung flashlight attachment or laser module.
| | Not to be confused with ''[[Halo]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[M6D HE Pistol]] or ''[[Halo 2]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[M6C Magnum Sidearm]] the M6G Pistol is a member of the UNSC M6 pistol family. Little about the M6G's capabilities are known, except that it does not have a scope. From leaked vids, it appears that the pistol holds eight rounds in a clip and has slightly less power than the M6D. It also fires high explosive rounds.<ref>http://www.halo3.com/</ref> |

| ===Ammunition=== | | ==Appearances== |
| {{Main|M225 Semi-Armor-Piercing High-Explosive|l1=M225 SAP-HE}}
| | The M6G is only found in Halo 3. At first, when it made appearances in leaked alpha-build games, and even later, when it appeared in the [[Starry Night]] trailer and the [[Halo 3 ViDoc: Is Quisnam Protero Damno!]], it was claimed to be the M6D Pistol. However, in April 2007, it was confirmed by [[Frank O'Connor]] that the M6D would not be appearing in Halo 3, and that it would be replaced by the scopeless M6G. |
| The M6G uses 12.7×40mm [[M225 Semi-Armor-Piercing High-Explosive|M225 SAP-HE]] (Semi-Armor Piercing, High Explosive) .50 caliber ammunition loads. These rounds have a jacket of copper or cupro-nickel around the projectile while the projectile itself is hollow and filled with an explosive compound and a delayed-detonation impact fuse. When the round impacts a target, the jacket will initially help the projectile maintain its shape, allowing it to travel into the target before detonating almost immediately after impact, causing massive tissue damage and system shock. Probable reasons for using semi-armor piercing rounds instead of armor piercing projectiles are both to prevent over-penetration of hostiles and decreasing the risk of friendly fire during CQB and urban combat, and their devastating efficacy against soft targets. The explosive properties of the rounds render them decently effective against personal shielding systems and are also capable of damaging lightly-armored vehicles. | |

| ===Changes from ''Halo 3'' to ''Halo: Reach''===
| |
| *Features a 2× zoom function.
| |
| *Has reticle bloom, like most weapons in ''Halo: Reach''.
| |
| *Nearly doubled rate of fire (though its rate of fire is identical when firing only at minimum bloom). | |
| *Different reloading and melee animations that are very similar to those of the M6D from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', wherein the SPARTAN flips the weapon in the air after striking. | |

| ==Trivia==
| | [[Category:Weapons]] |
| *In ''Halo: Reach'', Spartans wielding M6Gs use a nearly identical melee animation to the M6D pistol in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. Elites, however, use an animation similar to that used by both species in ''Halo 3''.

| *John-117 wields an M6G (''Halo: Reach'' version) in the cover art of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' in lieu of the M6D, which is featured in the game. The cover art was designed while the ''Reach'' M6G model was being used as a placeholder for the M6D during the development of the game and was not changed when the pistol's in-game model was replaced (ironically, by ''Halo 3''{{'}}s M6G2 model).
