The '''KFA-2 x2'''<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3pistol Bungie.net's UNSC Weaponry update]</ref> is a [[UNSC]] scope used on the [[M6B]], [[M6D]], M6F and M6H<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx]</ref> pistol sidearms but not on any the other weapons in the [[M6 Series]]. It is a 2x magnification, smart-linked scope that relays visual data directly into the user's HUD ([[Heads Up Display]]), and possibly functions like a small camera. This stands in contrast to normal optical scopes such as the one featured on the [[BR55 Battle Rifle]], whereby the user have the ability to look into the scope, but the latter can also relay the visual data directly to the users HUD. Infantry and other military personal that do not wear a helmet with a visor or an eyepiece, has this HUD interface overlaid their normal sight via their [[Neural Interface|Standard or Command Neural Interface]]. This scope was only featured in ''[[Halo:CE]]'', and was absent in the other two sequels. The reason for this was because Bungie decided that the pistol behaved more like a rifle with the scope.

==Efficiency==
Because of it's ability to engage enemies from a distance, the KFA-2 is quite possibly the entire reason for the [[M6|M6D]]'s legendary performance as a powerful weapon, as the M6C has about the same power as the M6D.
==Trivia ==


==Description==
*Because of this sight, [[Robert McLees]] commented that [[Halo:CE]] players used the [[M6D]] more of a semi-auto rifle than a handgun. This led to the [[M6C]] replacing the [[M6D]] in [[Halo 2]].

==Trivia ==
*The [[M6C/SOCOM]] featured in [[Halo 3: ODST]] uses a similar smart-linked scope, the [[VnSLS/V 6E]], which has a 4x zoom, rather than 2x as with the KFA-2.
*Because of this sight, [[Robert McLees]] commented that ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' players used the M6D more of a semi-auto rifle than a handgun. This led to the [[M6C]] replacing the M6D in ''[[Halo 2]]''.<ref>'''[[The Art of Halo]]''', ''page ??''</ref> Even though the scope is featured on the ''Halo 3'' M6G magnum{{citation needed}}, it is unusable because Bungie decided that doing so will cause the pistol to behave more like a rifle with the scope.

*The scope may originally have been intended to be a laser aiming module. When using third-party tools to import the pistol's first-person model tag into a 3D editor, a marker named "#laser" appears in front of the scope.
