The machine pistol is a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[Wikipedia:Machine pistol|machine pistol]] of unknown make and model, which was in service during the [[post-Covenant War conflicts]]. At some point after [[2557#December|December 5, 2557]],{{Ref/Game|Id=CoOpIntro|SA|co-op intro cutscene}}{{Ref/Book|H4EVG|Pg=19|Detail=Roland}}{{Ref/Note|The [[artificial intelligence]] [[Roland]] appears during the introduction cutscene for the co-op [[Halo: Spartan Assault co-op missions|Flood missions]], and serves as its narrator. As he was put into service on December 5, 2557, this indicates that the TACSIM training session depicted in the cutscene took place some time after that date.}} the weapon was present in a [[UNSC Tactical Simulator|TACSIM]] training session hosted by [[Roland]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. These used a simulation of a [[Forerunner]] location called [[X-40]] which had been populated with [[Flood]] forms in order to prepare a group of [[Spartan]]s to fight the parasite, should the UNSC ever encounter it again.{{Ref/Reuse|SACoOp}}{{Ref/Reuse|CoOpIntro}} | |||

[[UNSC rank structure|Private]] [[Lewis Allen]] once described the machine pistol as "sloppy", but noted that this made it ideal for dealing with [[infection form]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Quote}} | |||

Despite not appearing in the game, the HUD icons for the machine pistol exist in the files of ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]'', likely just a holdover from the first game. As with all HUD elements in ''Spartan Strike'', these icons take on a slight green tinge when compared to ''Spartan Assault''.{{Ref/ | Despite not appearing in the game, the HUD icons for the machine pistol exist in the files of ''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]'', likely just a holdover from the first game.

Curiously, the Machine Pistol takes on the appearance of the campaign's SMG when held by red combat forms, despite retaining the properties of the Machine Pistol. However, the combat forms will still drop a normal Machine Pistol upon death.{{Ref/Reuse|SACoOp}} | Curiously, the Machine Pistol takes on the appearance of the campaign's SMG when held by red combat forms, despite retaining the properties of the Machine Pistol.
