Overview

Design details

Manufactured by Emerson Tactical Systems, the Mk50 Sidekick is a semi-automatic handgun in service with the UNSC Armed Forces. Described as "powerful and compact", it fires 10mm rounds from a detachable box magazine that typically holds 12 rounds. It differs significantly from the M6 series, the UNSC's most prominent sidearm, lacking the M6's signature hand-guard and smart-linked optic, the KFA-2 x2, while also firing a lower caliber round. The design of the Mk50 is relatively simplistic, with a segmented slide and basic, analogue iron sights. A safety switch is present on the left side of the weapon, above the trigger-guard. Emerson Tactical Systems' emblem is worked into the grip.[1] The weapon usually sports an olive green and matte black finish.[8][9]

Usage

The MK50 Sidekick was in service with UNSC forces as early as 2551.[4] Spartans are drilled to equip the pistol very quickly.[5] By December 2559, the weapon was in service with UNSC forces aboard the UNSC Infinity, serving as primary personal sidearm of Spartans and other special forces units onboard,[1] and saw action at the Battle for Zeta Halo.[7]

Production notes

The Sidekick was designed as a true sidearm pistol, being lightning fast to draw and fire, acting as a reliable backup when the player's primary weapon is depleted. Compared to the Magnums of previous titles, the Sidekick was described being closest in function to Halo 2's M6C magnum.[11] In April 2021, it was shown that the Sidekick had received a redesign since its reveal in July 2020. It would now include an underbarrel attachment similar to those featured on the M6C/SOCOM and the Tactical variant of the M6H2 Magnum, as well as some other small changes.[12]
