[1] Their logo is a winged hourglass flanked by two double "X"'s usually located on the cartridge base of ammunition.
Misriah Armory currently produces hand-loaded match-grade ammunition for the SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle, used by Linda in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. They are also responsible for developing the design and ammunition for the M6 series of pistols for the UNSC. In the The Art of Halo book, it shows a side view of the M6C Magnum Sidearm, which has "Misriah" stamped on the side. [2] In the Halo 3 Beta, "Misriah Armory" can also be seen on the side of the pistol.
Misriah Armory also manufactured the Mark V(m) MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor in 2528, 14 years before the Mark V entered production.
