The M6H Personal Defense Weapon System is a handgun in service with the UNSC. It is part of Misriah Armory's widespread M6 series. The M6H was in service as an officer's model[1] as early as 2526[2][3] and was made the standard-issue sidearm of all UNSC personnel in 2555.[4]
Specifications
The M6H is a semi-automatic, recoil-operated, magazine-fed 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.[1] It fires the M6 series' standard 12.7x40mm ammunition. The M6H is effective at reasonably long distances as well as its preferred close-to-medium-range.[4]
Variant
M6H2 Personal Defense Weapon
The M6H2 variant had entered service by October 2558.[5] This variant sports a black polymer finish and a 12-round magazine. The M6H2 also boasts increased accuracy in comparison to the base model. It features a smoother slide design and a different top-mounted module (in place of the venerable KFA-2 x2) to support smart scope functionality. Additionally the weapon appears to no longer be recoil operated and is instead gas operated.
