The ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' Pistol would go on to be a very influential and notorious weapon even amongst other video games. Its power both as a pistol and in comparison to ''Halo 1's'' other weapons lead players to both love and hate its overpowered nature.

It is an extremely effective weapon maintaining usefulness in most situations. It can 1 shot kill any [[character]] with an exposed head, does decent damage to shields, and can one-shot kill hunters when fired into their exposed skin. [[The Truth and Reconciliation]] is the only campaign mission to not feature the Pistol. The Pistol is noticeably ineffective against [[Sentinels]], especially those with [[energy shields]]. Unlike later games headshots have no effect on the [[Flood]], if a [[combat form]] appears to die from a single hit it is actually feigning death and will stand back up again. | ||

{{Main|Magnum#Changes_from_Title_Update_1_to_Anniversary_Settings|l1=Magnum (Halo: Reach)}} | |||
With the release of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' and the [[Anniversary Map Pack]] for ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', [[Halo:_Reach_Title_Updates#Creating_the_Halo:_Combat_Evolved_Pistol|anniversary gametypes]] were added which featured a rework to the Magnum in an attempt to replicate the gameplay and balancing of ''Halo: Combat Evolved's'' Pistol. The Magnum was made fully automatic, its rate of fire was lowered, and could now kill a spartan in 3 headshots or 5 body shots. These changes were built off of the existing [[Halo: Reach Title Update|Title Update]] settings such as the reduction to max [[spread]], although due to the new lower firerate the anniversary Magnum is even more accurate when compared to the title update Magnum or even the original ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' Pistol.{{Ref/File|Id=HREK_CEX|HREK|data\multiplayer\megalo\tu1_classic_gametypes.txt}} Finally the projectile velocity, magazine size, and reserve ammo count remained unchanged. This makes the anniversary Magnum easier to use than the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' Pistol but with half the killing potential per magazine. | |||

The M6D returns in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' as a mythic power weapon that can be requisitioned in Warzone and naturally spawns on some big team battle maps as a power weapon. It retains the same stopping power found in Combat Evolved, but is more user friendly due to its near-hitscan properties. Due to this, leading shots is no longer required. It also bears a slightly faster reload time. | |||
