The '''M6H Personal Defense Weapon System''' is a handgun in service with the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]. It is part of [[Misriah Armory]]'s widespread [[M6 series]]. The M6H was in service as an officer's model<ref name="Guide"/> as early as [[2526]]<ref>''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''</ref><ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/Content/assets/en-us/Podcast/343Sparkast_014.mp3 ''343 Sparkast 014]''</ref> and was made the standard-issue sidearm of all UNSC personnel in [[2555]].<ref name="O+A">[http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!an-epic-universe/ordnance-armor/cbbca9b3-5108-41aa-aa21-9b523de68266 '''Halo 4 Official Site''' ''Ordnance + Armor'']</ref> | |||
==Specifications== | |||
The M6H is a semi-automatic, recoil-operated, magazine-fed handgun. It is an up-sized model (17% larger than standard versions) with a smart-linked [[KFA-2 x2]] scope and an electroless nickel finish.<ref name="Guide">[http://www.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx '''Bungie.net''' - ''Halo 3: ODST Field Guide: M6C/SOCOM'']</ref> It fires the M6 series' standard 12.7x40mm ammunition. The M6H is effective at reasonably long distances as well as its preferred close-to-medium-range.<ref name="O+A"/> | |||
== | ==Variant== | ||
=== | ===M6H2 Personal Defense Weapon=== | ||
A second iteration of the weapon exists, designated '''M6H2'''.<ref name="H2">[http://www.halopedia.org/File:M6H2_PDW.png This screenshot]</ref><ref name="H2 note" group="note">Weapon designations printed on in-game weapon models often differ from their given canon designations once game development has been completed. Therefore, this is not a reliable source. However, as the only source available it should be taken as canon until a more official source gives the weapon its designation.</ref> This variant sports a black polymer finish and a 12-round magazine. Functionally, the M6H2 performs identically to its predecessor aside from its increased accuracy of rapid fire and the benefit of a deeper magazine capacity. Aesthetically however, the weapon bears drastic modifications to its body, with essentially nothing identical. Most notable of these modifications include an entirely different slide design, and a completely reworked top-mounted module to support [[Spartan abilities#Smart Scope|Smart Scope]] functionality. | |||
