==== 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.
