For the sake of completeness, we should remember that the M6 Sidearm series does indeed fire high explosive rounds, just not five-inch wide explosive canisters as the unidentified weapon apparently does. And I agree with Jugus: the weapon in the trailer does not seem to be a traditional pistol; rather it seems to be a cut-down or downsized version of a grenade launcher. As a side note, I believe it would also be beneficial to treat the "jetpack" as a hitherto unused integrated thruster pack designed for zero-gravity maneuvers in order to preserve equipment continuity. After all, except for Halo 2, we haven't seen the Mk VI MJOLNIR operate in zero gravity while under adverse conditions; and even in Halo 2, the camera was fairly far away. I know that there was never any mention of one, but we ''could'' have missed such a thruster pack's exhaust... ''Possibly''.

:Well those two bit that stick out of the back do look like exaust ports, and they've never done anything before, so it could very well be a built-in jet pack, that he hasn't needed to use until now. The grenade launcher looks like it's based off of the M6 series, and there are a lot of variants. [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 04:04, 7 June 2011 (EDT)

:^Agreed on the pistol/launcher Alex. The two are probably in the same series. Haha, anyone feel up for an M6-Doorbuster? I feel I should clarify my view on the thrusters: they would be ''specifically'' designed for zero-gravity, not as a "jump pack" like in Halo: Reach. They're easier to explain away in that case. --[[User talk:Bruce2401|Bruce2401]] 07:08, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
