While its rate of fire is only around half that of its predecessor, its accuracy is superior.{{Ref/Reuse|B.netH3}} The top attachment plate's mounting pins are closer to the muzzle. The slide has vertical serrations and a flat rear. The magazine release is set just in front of the safety switch and has a thin, rectangular lip akin to earlier M6 models. The striker is recessed into the slide as on a 21st-century [[Wikipedia:Glock|Glock]]. | ||
The M6G2 is a semi-automatic, recoil-operated, magazine-fed, large-caliber handgun. It has a polymer handle, along with a titanium alloy body and an electroless nickel-plate finish, though can be alternately issued in black polymer and hard chrome finishes instead. The sidearm fires the M225 SAP-HE (Semi-Armor Piercing, High Explosive) rounds from an 8-round magazine at a velocity of 427 m/sec (1302.35 ft/sec). In addition, the weapon can be issued with a [[KFA-2 x2]] optical, smart-linked scope.{{Ref/Reuse|B.netH3}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Service|URL=https://halo.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/CareerStats.aspx?player=Lord%20Jozar&social=False|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Halo 3 Service Record, Tools of Destruction|Quote=A recoil-operated, semi-automatic handgun.
