===Design details===
===Overview===
The M20 is visually similar to its predecessor, though it differs in using a new high-velocity armor-piercing round that increases the amount of kinetic energy imparted to the target, specifically developed to counter the proliferation of military-grade armor among [[Insurrectionist]] cells and as a response to [[Covenant]] [[Energy shielding|energy shield]] technology.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The weapon uses top-mounted magazines of cased [[5.7×28mm|5.7×28mm High Velocity, Armor Piercing (HV-AP)]] ammunition rather than the side-mounted magazines of caseless ammunition used by the M7. The top-mounted magazine offers an improved reload time and allows the weapon to be more open to customisation and field-modification,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} with the weapon compatible with nearly all UNSC [[weapon attachment]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
Developed as a response to the Insurrection and the Covenant, the weapon is issued to UNSC vehicle and aircraft crews, security personnel, and Spartans who expect close-quarters combat,<ref name="CF"/> and has been adopted by a number of UEG security forces.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>


===Design details===
By default, the M20 is equipped with a reflex [[CQB sight]], though as per above this can be swapped out.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The weapon's main frame features a retracting stock, folding foregrip, and a [[Smart-linking|smart-link]] electronics package to allow it to be used with any UNSC helmet.

Otherwise, the weapon is very similar, featuring an adjustable grip under the weapon and a telescoping stock which can be retracted, allowing the weapon to be fired one-handed. Although the most commonly issued model features a [[CQB sight]] attachment, the weapon also accomodated an array of extended barrels, sound suppressors, laser targeters and recoil stabilizers. The weapon is also compatible with kinetic bolts that impart more kinetic energy to the target, and can be equipped with an energy bayonet.<ref name="H5G"/>

==Production notes==
The weapon's [[Halo Waypoint]] Universe article erroneously referred to the M20 PDW as firing the M7 SMG's [[5×23mm]] caseless ammunition.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} However, the weapon is designed to eject spent shells - a behaviour which can be observed in-game. This discrepancy was corrected in the ''Halo Encyclopedia''.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
==Trivia==
The M20 bears similarity of both the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_P90 FN-P90]'s receiver-style magazine, and foresight, and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_MP7 MP7]'s frame.

Post-Covenant War conflicts

 

The M20/Personal Defense Weapon (M20/PDW) is a submachine gun produced by Misriah Armory and issued to United Nations Space Command service personnel.[1][2][3] The M20 serves as a replacement for the M7 SMG in the post-Covenant war era. The weapon is issued to UNSC vehicle and aircraft crews, security personnel, and Spartans who expect to encounter close-quarters combat.[4]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The M20 is visually similar to its predecessor, though it differs in using a new high-velocity armor-piercing round that increases the amount of kinetic energy imparted to the target, specifically developed to counter the proliferation of military-grade armor among Insurrectionist cells and as a response to Covenant energy shield technology.[1][2] The weapon uses top-mounted magazines of cased 5.7×28mm High Velocity, Armor Piercing (HV-AP) ammunition rather than the side-mounted magazines of caseless ammunition used by the M7. The top-mounted magazine offers an improved reload time and allows the weapon to be more open to customisation and field-modification,[2] with the weapon compatible with nearly all UNSC weapon attachments.[1]

By default, the M20 is equipped with a reflex CQB sight, though as per above this can be swapped out.[2] The weapon's main frame features a retracting stock, folding foregrip, and a smart-link electronics package to allow it to be used with any UNSC helmet. The weapon's lightweight construction allows it to be fired one-handed.[1]

Variants[edit]

The M20's accessibility to production and customisation has opened the weapon up to having a large catalog of subvariants.[2] It is compatible with nearly all UNSC weapon attachments.[1]

Sight options
  • Standard: SMG with CQB sight. Standard configuration best suited for close-quarters combat while leveraging smart-link.SMG with CQB Sight.[3]
  • Morph SMG: SMG with Morph sight. Advanced tactical configuration used by the UEG's elite bodyguard corps.[5]
  • Projection SMG: SMG with Projection sight. SWAT configuration used by UNSC military police and UEG security forces.[4][6]
  • Recon SMG: SMG with Recon sight. Personal defense weapon configuration issued to UNSC pilots.[7]
  • Hybrid SMG: SMG with Holoscope. Personal defense weapon configuration used by Sangheili liaison teams.[8]
  • COG SMG: SMG with COG sight. Interdiction configuration used by Marine and Spartan boarding parties.[9]
Other attachments
  • Long Barrel: Increases range of bullet magnetism and aim assist.
  • Laser Targeter: Increases weapon accuracy by reducing bullet spread.
  • Silencer: Firing the weapon does not make the user show up on enemy radar. However, walking still gives away the user's position.
  • Stabilization Jets: Helps control vertical recoil.
  • Kinetic Bolts: Augments knockback and damage against vehicles.
  • Energy Bayonet: Increases melee damage and range, allowing for a one-hit kill against normal opponents.
  • Extended Magazine: Increases both ready and reserve ammunition capacity by up to 40%.
  • Threat Marker: Tracks targeted enemy personnel for a short time.
  • Sound Dampener: Increases effective range and reduces firing signature.

Gameplay[edit]

Main-Legendary.png See our gameplay information related to M20 PDW on its gameplay page.

Changes from M7 SMG in Halo 2: Anniversary[edit]

  • Can now be zoomed in using the Smart Scope to have its bullet spread reduced at the cost of added recoil.
  • As of the November 2017 update, headshots with the M20 SMG now deal bonus damage on unshielded targets.
  • Increased damage, killing in 19-20 rounds, (depending on the headshot bonus) instead of 25 rounds.
  • Maximum reserve ammo increased from 180 to 360.
  • Rate of fire is now 920 RPM.

Changes from Halo 5: Guardians to HCS testing[edit]

  • Maximum reserve ammo decreased to 300 (-14.3%).

Changes from HCS testing to Overtime[edit]

  • Aim assist slightly decreased within effective range.
  • Overall damage slightly reduced, including headshot damage.
  • Accuracy slightly increased as the inner reticles no longer bloom outside of the outer circular reticle.

Production notes[edit]

The weapon's Halo Waypoint Universe article erroneously referred to the M20 PDW as firing the M7 SMG's 5×23mm caseless ammunition.[1] However, the weapon is designed to eject spent shells - a behaviour which can be observed in-game. This discrepancy was corrected in the Halo Encyclopedia.[2]

Trivia[edit]

The M20 bears similarity of both the FN-P90's receiver-style magazine, and foresight, and the MP7's frame.
