The '''8mm Sevine Arms Defender''', known as a '''SAD-8''' or a '''Defender''', is an automatic pistol manufactured by [[Sevine Arms]].{{Ref/Reuse|R1}}

==Operational history==
[[Georgi Baklanov]] made use of SAD-8s before he was killed by the [[Spartan-II]], [[Kelly-087]], on [[2553#December|December 12, 2553]].{{Ref/Reuse|R1}} When Civilians on [[Gao]] approached UNSC forces at the [[New Leaf Field Complex]] a few days later, one of them also carried a Defender.{{Ref/Reuse|R18}}

==Overview==
The SAD-8 is manufactured by Sevine Arms, a corporation on Gao. SAD-8s are freely sold to civilians on Gao and elsewhere, notably Venezia. Defenders are short-nosed weapons designed for easy concealment and close-quarters self defense. Their recoil is so heavy that even experienced shooters have trouble hitting a target at ten meters.<ref name="R18">''[[Halo: Retribution]]'', ''Chapter 18''</ref> The SAD-8 has a hammer that can be thumbed and is capable of firing hollow-point ammunition.<ref name="R1">''[[Halo: Retribution]]'', ''Chapter 1''</ref>
