- — Private Lewis Allen[2]
The M6/Z Magnum is a fully-automatic machine pistol variant of the veritable M6 series of sidearms produced by Misriah Armory.[1]
Overview
Design details
The M6/Z is a modified Magnum pistol, designed to support the use of fully-automatic fire - albeit with extremely low accuracy.[1] The weapon features a top-mounted sight and a vertical foregrip.[3]
Usage
The M6/Z was designed for high-risk, close-quarters boarding actions within space warfare - though also found itself used during the UNSC's encounters with the Flood parasite. Ultimately, the weapon has not seen much use outside of UNSC Tactical Simulators due to its low accuracy offsetting any potential rate-of-fire benefits.[1]
