The '''M6H Personal Defense Weapon System''' ('''M6H PDWS''') 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 infrequently in service 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 [[Wikipedia:handgun|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://halo.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx '''Bungie.net''' - ''Halo 3: ODST Field Guide: M6C/SOCOM'']</ref> It fires the M6 series' standard 12.7×40mm ammunition. The M6H is effective at reasonably long distances as well as its preferred close-to-medium-range.<ref name="O+A"/> | |||

[[File:H5G-Render-Pistol.png|thumb|left|200px|The M6H2 variant.]] | |||
The '''M6H2''' variant had entered service by at least [[2557]] and was issued to all branches of the UNSC.<ref name="LAL"/> It has a [[Weapon serial number|serial number]] of "00MA0100062473"<ref>'''[[:File:Andrew-bradbury-magnum-lo-c-01.jpg]]'''</ref> and sports a black polymer finish. Like the base M6H, the M6H2 is semi-automatic, recoil-operated and magazine-fed,<ref name="LAL"/> but has an increased 12-round magazine capacity.<ref name="Halo 5"/> The variant also boasts increased accuracy and is most effective with precision aiming.<ref name="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 name="Halo 5"/> In 2557, this weapon had a [[List of REQ cards/Weapon Skins|Ruptive]] skin approved by the [[UNSC Ordnance Commission]].<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''' - ''Ruptive skin description''</ref> | |||

== | ==== M6H2 Variants ==== | ||
= | * '''[[Whispered Truth]]''': 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.

The slide reads "Semper Vigilans" (Always Vigilant), the motto of the Office of Naval Intelligence. | ||
* '''Gunfighter Magnum''': Lightweight competition pistol carried by Spartan operators who prefer a no-frills backup firearm. Quick draw Magnum with fast-reload magazines. Iron sights only, no Smart-Link module is attached. | |||
* '''Tactical Magnum''': Whisper-quiet tactical pistol loaded with armor-piercing rounds, tailored for Spartan force reconnaissance missions. Match grade Magnum with integral baffle-free suppressor and 2× full-VISR Smart-Link. | |||
* '''Buck's Magnum''': A Magnum with the Gunfighter body, Whispered Truth finish, and a front iron sight that is seen on the Projection Sight, appearing to have been attached separately. | |||
