The '''M6H2''' variant had entered service by at least [[2557]] and was issued to all branches of the UNSC.{{Ref/Reuse|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/Reuse|LAL}} but has an increased 12-round magazine capacity.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo 5}} The variant also boasts increased accuracy and is most effective with precision aiming.{{Ref/Reuse|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/Reuse|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 ====
===Usage===
* '''[[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. This variant sports a 18-round magazine.  Unlike other pistols ''Whispered Truth'' fires in three-round bursts. The slide reads "Semper Vigilans" (Always Vigilant), the motto of the Office of Naval Intelligence.
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}}
* '''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.
==Variant==
* '''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.
*'''[[M6H2 magnum]]''' - A modernized variant of the M6{{Ref/Book|OSFM|Page=186}} that features an increased magazine size and a relatively affordable production cost.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22pg165|Enc22|Page=165}}
* '''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.

* While not available in regular gameplay for the level ''[[Mission 25: Battle for the Moon|Battle for the Moon]]'', the player is prompted to use [[Sarah Palmer]]'s magnum to perform an execution on [[Merg Vol]] after defeating him in combat, something that is absent from all gameplay elsewhere.

==Trivia==
 
*In ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', Spartans now wield the handgun with a more realistic "thumbs forward" combat grip, as opposed to the classic "teacup" grip seen in ''[[Halo 2]]'' through ''[[Halo 4]]''.
