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]
Gameplay
Changes from the M6G PDWS in Halo: Reach
- Less damage to shields, requiring five shots to disable shields instead of four.
- Higher accuracy/less bloom.
Changes from Halo 4 to Halo 5: Guardians
- Magazine size increased from 8 to 12.
- The player now uses a Smart Scope instead of the KFA-2 x2 scope.
