Design details

Help.png This section needs expansion. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

The M20 SMG is visually very similar to its M7 counterpart, as well as in terms of performance. Like before, the weapon fires pistol-caliber cartridges from a 60-round magazine at a rate of 900 rounds per minute. The M20 is most notably different in its functional design, opting away from the former's caseless cartridges and side-mounted magazine in favor of traditional cased cartridges and a top-mounted magazine.

Gameplay

Changes from M7 SMG in Halo 2: Anniversary

  • Can now be zoomed in using the Smart Scope and have its bloom reduced at the cost of added recoil.
  • Headshots now deal bonus damage on unshielded targets.
  • Increased damage, killing in 13-15 rounds, depending on the headshot bonus.
  • Maximum ammo doubled, from 180 to 360.
