The '''M6H2''' variant had entered service by [[2558#October|October 2558]].<ref name="LAL">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-locke-load '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Cannon Fodder: Locke & Load'']</ref> This variant sports a black polymer finish and a 12-round magazine. The M6H2 also boasts increased accuracy in comparison to the base model. It features a smoother slide design and a different top-mounted module (in place of the venerable [[KFA-2 x2]]) to support [[smart scope]] functionality. Additionally the weapon appears to no longer be recoil operated and is instead gas operated. It is normally fielded with a Projection Sight.

===History===
===M6H2 [[Whispered Truth]]===
The M6H was infrequently in service as early as [[2526]]{{Ref/Film|Id=FUD|[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/Content/assets/en-us/Podcast/343Sparkast_014.mp3|Site=Halo Official Site|Page=343 Sparkast 014|D=16|M=7|Y=2012}} and was made the standard-issue sidearm of all UNSC personnel in [[2555]].{{Ref/Site|Id=O+A|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!an-epic-universe/ordnance-armor/cbbca9b3-5108-41aa-aa21-9b523de68266|Site=Halo 4 Official Site|Page=Ordnance + Armor|D=16|M=7|Y=2012}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg165}}
[[File:REQ Card - Whispered Truth.png|left|thumb|150px|The M6H2 Whispered Truth variant]]
It is a cut-down M6H2 magnum without a smart scope system, under-barrel flashlight, or forward trigger guard. It also has a custom slide and can mount a suppressor. This variant sports a 18-round magazine. Unlike other pistols ''Whispered Truth'' fires in three-round bursts.


===Usage===
UNSC personnel at the [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]] and [[Insurrectionist]]s used the M6H circa 2526.{{Ref/Reuse|FUD}} The M6H was used extensively by the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s ground forces during [[Battle of Requiem|both]] of their [[Requiem Campaign|campaigns]] at [[Requiem]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg165}}
