Summary
A stripped-down version of the M6D Pistol equipped by the crew of the Pillar of Autumn during their battle with the Covenant on Installation 04, the Magnum does not have a scope, nor are its bullets explosive - and it therefore lacks the very features that made its counterpart so deceptively deadly in Halo: Combat Evolved.
The magazine of this handgun can hold 12 bullets and has moderate stopping power. In close quarters with a dual-wieldable configuration, it can be surprisingly effective when employed against unshielded foes - not to mention stylish. Over longer distances, however, its lack of scope and modest magazine capacity renders the Magnum largely ineffective. It is also rather slow to reload, a fact you should take into consideration before opting to use it against large groups of enemies. It is, however, quite useful for placing exact headshots.
