==Design details==
The M6C/SOCOM variant is a special issued handgun to the UNSC's [[UNSC Special Forces|special operations units]]. The M6C/SOCOM variant has an integrated sound [[Suppressor (attachment)|suppressor]], and [[Muzzle Brake|muzzle brake]]. It is the secondary weapon of special forces like [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s and is used in operations that rely on stealth rather than direct engagements. In lieu of the [[KFA-2 x2|KFA-2]] sight used on the [[M6D magnum|M6D PDWS]], the M6C/SOCOM utilizes the [[VnSLS/V 6E]] smart linked 4× scope, enabling the user to eliminate targets at long range while incurring limited recoil due to the integral sound suppressor and compensator. It has a considerably high rate of fire with an long effective range, being able to hit a target accurately at about fifty meters. The M6C/SOCOM is, like its M6C counterpart, weaker than the standard-issue [[M6G2 magnum|M6G PDWS]] due to lower efficiency against [[Energy Shields|shielded]] and heavily [[armor]]ed targets.


The '''M6C/SOCOM''', also known as the "'''M6S'''", and informally known as the "Automag", <ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/odst/asset_popup_viewer.aspx?at=53&cc=29&item=8 Bungie.net - Halo 3: ODST Render]</ref>, is a semi-automatic pistol used by the [[United Nations Space Command]], and is a variant of the [[M6C Personal Defense Weapon System|M6C magnum sidearm]].<ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''</ref><ref>''Game Pro: June 2009'', page 4</ref>
Like other M6 pistols, the M6S is operated based on the short-recoil principle. When the weapon is fired, the expansion of gases inside the chamber and barrel creates a force sufficient enough to re-cock the weapon and chamber a new cartridge from its magazine.  


==Design Details==
=== Ammunition ===
The M6C/SOCOM variant is a special issued handgun to the UNSC's [[UNSC Special Forces|special operations units]]. The M6C/SOCOM variant has an integrated sound [[suppressor]], and [[Muzzle Brake|muzzle brake]]. It is the secondary weapon of special forces [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s and is used in operations that rely on stealth rather than direct engagements. In lieu of the [[KFA-2 x2|KFA-2]] sight used on the [[M6D Personal Defense Weapon System|M6D PDWS]], the M6C/SOCOM utilizes the [[VnSLS/V 6E]] smart linked 4x scope, enabling the user to eliminate targets at long range while incurring limited recoil due to the integral sound suppressor and compensator. It has a double-action-only trigger and fires M228 12.7mmx40mm (.50 caliber) SAP-HP ammunition from a twelve-round magazine. It has a considerably high rate of fire with an long effective range, being able to hit a target accurately at about fifty meters. The M6C/SOCOM is, like its M6C counterpart, weaker than the standard-issue [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|M6G PDWS]] due to lower efficiency against [[Energy Shields|shielded]] and heavily [[armor]]ed targets.
The M6C/SOCOM uses [[M225 SAP-HE|M225 12.7x40mm semi-armor-piercing high-explosive]] rounds.{{Ref/Reuse|bungie}}


The M6C/SOCOM uses the short recoil principle. This means that the trigger needs to be pulled after every shot for the next round to be fired. Because it is semi-automatic, the gun will cock itself after every shot due to recoil and will continue to do so until the magazine is empty. The recoil comes from the gases of the rounds fired. The gases force the slide, located on the top of the gun, backward. The slide not only absorbs the force of the gases but also uses the force to eject spent casings out of the ejection port and load new rounds into the chamber. It also recocks the gun. Before the first round can be fired, the round must be chambered; this is done by inserting a magazine with ammunition into the grip of the weapon and then pulling the slide back completely and letting it launch forward, chambering a round on the way. There is a small, red rectangular box on the flat back of the slide that protrudes slightly when the weapon is cocked. Once this is done, the safety, located at the back of the slide on both sides, must be switched off or the weapon will not fire. Once all the rounds have been spent, the slide catch, a rectangular lever located above the trigger, is forced upward and “catches” the slide by a small notch. To reload, the empty magazine must be removed, done by using the magazine release button located on the grip. Once the empty magazine is removed, a "fresh" one can be inserted. Once the fresh magazine is inserted, the slide catch is pressed downward and the slide chambers a round.
== Gameplay ==
The Automag was added to the ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' version of ''Halo 3'' when ''Halo 3: ODST'' was added to PC. Like the BR55HB, it will kill players in 4 headshots.
=== Advantages ===
The M6S is far more accurate and effective at longer ranges than the M6G due to its zoom and boasts a slightly higher fire rate. Combined, these two factors make the M6S an overall more effective weapon than the M6G, although it cannot be dual-wielded. It is generally better to use the M6C as a sidearm rather than a primary weapon for these reasons, but the M6S can be a valuable utility when needed.


===Ammunition===
=== Disadvantages ===
The M6C/SOCOM uses [[M228 Semi-Armor-Piercing High-Penetration|12.7mm x 40mm (.50 Caliber) Semi-Armor-Piercing, High-Penetration]] rounds. These rounds have a jacket of copper or nickel which encloses a more frangible metal projectile that will deform shortly after penetration. When the round hits a hard object such as body armor, the jacket will temporarily help maintain the shape of the projectile so that it has a better chance of penetration. A second impact against bone or solid muscle mass inside the target's body is usually enough to complete the jacket's rupture, at which point the projectile mushrooms and fragments into smaller pieces, causing a large number of wound channels and maximizing damage. These rounds are typically more effective against infantry as opposed to armor-piercing rounds due to a larger dump of kinetic energy, resulting in better stopping power, and also to the process described above, with an armor-piercing round speeding through the target's body without causing as much trauma, creating a scenario where a wounded enemy can still be an effective combatant until they bleed out. Ammunition packets for the M6C/SOCOM are labeled in the same blue color as all other M6 sidearm ammunition packs. However, each ammunition pack has a different shade and text to denounce the type of ammunition used.
The M6S cannot be dual-wielded, meaning that players will have to give up their secondary weapon slot if they wish to perform a [[Noob Combo]]. Additionally, rapid and sustained fire of the M6S can result in a significant kick that the user must compensate for if they wish to stay on target. In [[Halo 3: ODST]], the weapon's suppressor does not actually grant any stealth attributes to the player, and firing the M6S will still alert enemies to the user's presence.  


===Advantages===
=== Changes from the M6G PDWS in ''Halo 3'' ===
The M6C/SOCOM, being a sound suppressed variant of the M6C, features several key advantages. The first is an increase in accuracy by the addition of a muzzle brake which reduces the recoil of the gun - this allows for better aiming and more controlled fire. The weapon also has an increased effective range,  making it a very formidable weapon when used against lightly armored infantry. Its suppressor allows for more stealthy engagements and excels at eliminating enemy infantry from concealed locations without compromising the user's location. The addition of a optics module, located underneath the suppressor/muzzle brake, gives the user 4x digital zoom for long range targets; the optics module also includes a flashlight to provide lumination in low-light situations.
* Complete visual overhaul
 
* Increased accuracy
===Disadvantages===
* Magazine increased from 8 to 12 rounds (the same as the original [[M6C magnum|M6C]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'')
Like the M6C, the M6C/SOCOM is not a purely offensive weapon among the M6 series. While it is more effective than the standard M6C, the role of the M6C/SOCOM falls between offensive and defensive combat. The M6C/SOCOM, like the M6C, is not effective against energy shield systems, making engagements against shielded enemy infantry very dangerous. In order for the weapon to be effective, a user must rely on a more powerful weapon to take down the shield and then switch to the sidearm, killing the target with a headshot. This requires a great deal of focus, and the time required to switch weapons leaves the user vulnerable to return fire. Rapid fire will cause the gun to climb like the M7.
* Higher maximum reserve ammunition (60 rounds, up from 48)
 
* Reserve Magazine reduced by 1 (6 to 5 > 8/48 to 12/60)
==Tactics==
* Increased rate of fire (same as M6C)
===Campaign and Firefight===
* New firing sound (due to the suppressor)
*The M6C/SOCOM was designed as a very powerful scoped pistol in tribute to the fan-beloved [[M6D Personal Defense Weapon System|M6D]] from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. The M6C/SOCOM combines the fire rate of the M6C with the accuracy, range, and scope of the M6D. However, it does not have the stopping power of an M6D or M6G, so it's best used to use headshots against unshielded enemies. Indeed, the weapon's non-headshot damage is so mediocre that even a [[Unggoy|Grunt]] can survive several torso shots from the M6C/SOCOM. This places the weapon as the lowest-damaging of all the M6 series pistols in-game, which is surprising due to it being issued to special forces teams. However, it can still be useful for stealth operations, and skilled marksmen capable of consecutive headshots can dispose of Grunts and Jackals with startling ease, efficiency, and speed, thanks to the low recoil, high accuracy, and high magazine capacity of the pistol.
* Addition of a 4× zoom feature
*The M6C/SOCOM is most effective against Grunts and [[Kig-yar|Jackals]], however it is ineffective against [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]]. When going up against Jackals, the combat strategy used throughout the previous ''Halo'' titles remains effective.
* Weapon is far less effective against energy shields
*The M6C/SOCOM is essentially useless against enemies with energy shields. The most common way to take down shielded infantry is to take down their shield using the [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun]] or an [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|MA5C assault rifle]] and then follow up with a headshot with the M6S. If another, more powerful weapon like the [[Type-51 Carbine]] is available and has significant ammunition, the latter weapon is preferred. The carbine is good for taking down shields and scoring headshots, but lacks stealth.

"M6S — whisper-quiet with armor-piercing rounds. Brutes might see us coming, but the only thing they'll hear is their asses hitting the ground."
— Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck.[3]

The M6C/SOCOM, also known as the "M6S" and informally known as the "Automag",[1] is a semi-automatic pistol used by the United Nations Space Command. It is a specialized variant of the M6C magnum sidearm used by special operations teams.

Design details[edit]

The M6C/SOCOM variant is a special issued handgun to the UNSC's special operations units. The M6C/SOCOM variant has an integrated sound suppressor, and muzzle brake. It is the secondary weapon of special forces like Orbital Drop Shock Troopers and is used in operations that rely on stealth rather than direct engagements. In lieu of the KFA-2 sight used on the M6D PDWS, the M6C/SOCOM utilizes the VnSLS/V 6E smart linked 4× scope, enabling the user to eliminate targets at long range while incurring limited recoil due to the integral sound suppressor and compensator. It has a considerably high rate of fire with an long effective range, being able to hit a target accurately at about fifty meters. The M6C/SOCOM is, like its M6C counterpart, weaker than the standard-issue M6G PDWS due to lower efficiency against shielded and heavily armored targets.

Like other M6 pistols, the M6S is operated based on the short-recoil principle. When the weapon is fired, the expansion of gases inside the chamber and barrel creates a force sufficient enough to re-cock the weapon and chamber a new cartridge from its magazine.

Ammunition[edit]

The M6C/SOCOM uses M225 12.7x40mm semi-armor-piercing high-explosive rounds.[1]

Gameplay[edit]

The Automag was added to the Halo: The Master Chief Collection version of Halo 3 when Halo 3: ODST was added to PC. Like the BR55HB, it will kill players in 4 headshots.

Advantages[edit]

The M6S is far more accurate and effective at longer ranges than the M6G due to its zoom and boasts a slightly higher fire rate. Combined, these two factors make the M6S an overall more effective weapon than the M6G, although it cannot be dual-wielded. It is generally better to use the M6C as a sidearm rather than a primary weapon for these reasons, but the M6S can be a valuable utility when needed.

Disadvantages[edit]

The M6S cannot be dual-wielded, meaning that players will have to give up their secondary weapon slot if they wish to perform a Noob Combo. Additionally, rapid and sustained fire of the M6S can result in a significant kick that the user must compensate for if they wish to stay on target. In Halo 3: ODST, the weapon's suppressor does not actually grant any stealth attributes to the player, and firing the M6S will still alert enemies to the user's presence.

Changes from the M6G PDWS in Halo 3[edit]

  • Complete visual overhaul
  • Increased accuracy
  • Magazine increased from 8 to 12 rounds (the same as the original M6C in Halo 2)
  • Higher maximum reserve ammunition (60 rounds, up from 48)
  • Reserve Magazine reduced by 1 (6 to 5 > 8/48 to 12/60)
  • Increased rate of fire (same as M6C)
  • New firing sound (due to the suppressor)
  • Addition of a 4× zoom feature
  • Weapon is far less effective against energy shields
