Misriah Armory is an armory located on the planet Mars [1]. Their logo is a winged hourglass flanked by two double "X"'s usually located on the cartridge base of ammunition.
Misriah Armory currently produces hand-loaded match-grade for the SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle, used by Linda in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. They are also responsible for developing the design and ammunition for the M6 series of pistols for the UNSC. In the Art of Halo book, it shows a side view of the M6C Magnum Sidearm, which has "Misriah" stamped on the side.[2] In the Halo 3 Beta, "Misriah Armory" can also be seen on the side of the pistol.
Misriah Armory also manufactured the Mark V(m) MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor in 2528, 14 years before the Mark V entered production.
