-Unlike most ammunition types in the Halo games, this is not a real-life ammo type, the closest comparison a 9x39mm special purpose Soviet round. The soviet round was designed as an expansion of their primary 7.62x39mm assault rifle ammunition in order to give the round higher kinetic energy and thus greater target damage. It was only used by certain special operations teams in suppressed assault rifles.
+Unlike most ammunition types in the Halo games, this is not a real-life ammo type, the closest comparison a [[wikipedia:9x39mm|9x39mm]] special purpose round. Designed in the Soviet Union, this round was designed to defeat soft body armor at ranges closer than 100 meters, and be subsonic, so it can be easily used in suppressed firearms.
 The M634 is likely the result of the human inclinations towards bigger things (leading to the 9.5 mm bullet) and technological manipulation (leading to the experimental propellant).
