The '''M6H Personal Defense Weapon System''' ('''M6H PDWS''') is a handgun in service with the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]. It is part of [[Misriah Armory]]'s widespread [[M6 series]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg165}} | |||
==Gallery== | ==Overview== | ||
===Design details=== | |||
The M6H is a semi-automatic, recoil-operated, magazine-fed [[Wikipedia:handgun|handgun]]. It is an up-sized model (17% larger than standard versions) with a smart-linked [[KFA-2 x2]] scope and an electroless nickel finish.{{Ref/Site|Id=Guide|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Halo 3: ODST - Field Guide - M6C/SOCOM|D=01|M=6|Y=2020}} It fires the M6 series' standard 12.7×40mm ammunition. The M6H is effective at reasonably long distances as well as its preferred close-to-medium-range.{{Ref/Reuse|O+A}} | |||
===History=== | |||
The M6H was infrequently in service as early as [[2526]]{{Ref/Film|Id=FUD|[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/Content/assets/en-us/Podcast/343Sparkast_014.mp3|Site=Halo Official Site|Page=343 Sparkast 014|D=16|M=7|Y=2012}} and was made the standard-issue sidearm of all UNSC personnel in [[2555]].{{Ref/Site|Id=O+A|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!an-epic-universe/ordnance-armor/cbbca9b3-5108-41aa-aa21-9b523de68266|Site=Halo 4 Official Site|Page=Ordnance + Armor|D=16|M=7|Y=2012}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg165}} | |||
===Usage=== | |||
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}} | |||
