The '''M6H2 Personal Defense Weapon''' ('''M6H PDWS''') is a variant of the [[M6H magnum]] of the [[M6 series]] of handguns and was issued to all branches of the UNSC.{{Ref/Reuse|LAL}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg165}}
 
==Overview==
[[File:H5G-Unloaded Magnum.png|thumb|left|200px|An unloaded M6H2 with its smart link module detached. Note the gas piston and bolt head.]]
===Design details===
The M6H2 is considered a modernized variant of the M6.{{Ref/Book|OSFM|Page=186}} It sports a black polymer finish. Like the base M6H, the M6H2 is semi-automatic, recoil-operated and magazine-fed,{{Ref/Reuse|LAL}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg165}} but has an increased 12-round magazine capacity.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo 5}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg165}} The variant also boasts increased accuracy and is most effective with precision aiming.{{Ref/Reuse|LAL}} It features a smoother slide design and a [[Projection sight]] (in place of the venerable [[KFA-2 x2]]) to support [[smart scope]] functionality.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo 5}} The M6H2 also features a protective metamaterial coating, which is shared with the [[MA5D assault rifle]].{{Ref/Book|OSFM|Page=188}}
 
The M6H2 also has a relatively affordable production cost{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg165}} and has a [[Weapon serial number|serial number]] of "00MA0100062473".<ref>'''[[:File:Andrew-bradbury-magnum-lo-c-01.jpg]]'''</ref>
 
===History===
The M6H2 entered service by at least [[2526]]{{Ref/Novel|HOblv|Detail=[[:File:Oblivionart.PNG|Cover art]]}} and would be the dominant Magnum in use by all UNSC branches in the year after the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg165}} In 2557, this weapon had a [[List of REQ cards/Weapon Skins|Ruptive]] skin approved by the [[UNSC Ordnance Commission]].{{Ref/Game|H5G|[[List of REQ cards/Weapon Skins|Ruptive skin description]]}}
 
===Usage===
The M6H2 saw use by [[Rion Forge]] preceding the [[Created uprising]]{{Ref/Novel|HPoL|Detail=[[:File:PointOfLight Cover Art.jpg|Cover art]]}} and both [[Fireteam Osiris]] and [[Blue Team]] during the early portions of it, such as at the [[Battle of Kamchatka]] and [[Operation]]: [[Operation: BIRD IN HAND|BIRD IN HAND]].{{Ref/Level|H5G|Osiris (level)|Osiris}}{{Ref/Level|H5G|Blue Team (level)|Blue Team}}
 
==Variants==

The slide reads "Semper Vigilans" (Always Vigilant), the motto of the Office of Naval Intelligence.
