The M6D Pistol is a [[UNSC]] handgun. The model used by [[~~SPARTAN~~ John-117]] is most likely an upscaled version designed to work more effectively for [[SPARTAN-II]]s.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx M6C/SOCOM Article</ref> The M6D is a semi-automatic, recoil-operated, magazine-fed, large-bore handgun. It is controllable enough have little muzzle lift even when firing at the maximum rate. However, fast firing does decrease accuracy. It is most likely striker-fired, due to there being no visible external hammer. [[Image:MC M6D.jpg|thumb|250 px|right|The Master Chief wielding an M6D.]] It fires M225 SAP-HE (Semi-Armor Piercing, High Explosive) rounds from a 12-round magazine. Operators can achieve an effective rate of fire of 3.5 rounds/sec or 210 rounds/min. The weapon is very accurate out to its maximum effective range. This accuracy allows incredibly precise target engagement at long range. This, combined with its decent damage against [[Energy Shields]], makes it a viable option when faced with shielded opponents. It is, however, even more effective against unshielded infantry targets, being able to kill most targets in one shot to the head or two to three shots to the body.

The M6D is semi-automatic. This means that gun will cock itself after every shot due to recoil and will continue to do so until the magazine is empty. The M6D also uses the short recoil principle; it uses the force of the recoil to eject the spent casing, chamber another cartridge, and re-cock.
