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.
