The M6H Personal Defense Weapon System (M6H PDWS) is a handgun in service with the UNSC. It is part of Misriah Armory's widespread M6 series.[1]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The M6H is a semi-automatic, recoil-operated, magazine-fed handgun. It is an up-sized model (17% larger than standard versions) with a smart-linked KFA-2 x2 scope and an electroless nickel finish.[8] It fires the M6 series' standard 12.7×40mm ammunition. The M6H is effective at reasonably long distances as well as its preferred close-to-medium-range.[9]
History[edit]
The M6H was limited service as early as 2526[10][11] and was made the standard-issue sidearm of all UNSC personnel in 2555.[9][1]
Usage[edit]
UNSC personnel at the Corbulo Academy of Military Science and Insurrectionists used the M6H circa 2526.[10] The M6H was used extensively by the UNSC Infinity's ground forces during both of their campaigns at Requiem.[1]
