== Halo 5 possibly not M6H ==
== Halo 5 possibly not M6H ==


Is there anything that actually confirms the magnum shown in Halo 5 is the M6H? There are some clear aesthetic differences (including a black polymer finish) and it has a 12-round magazine instead of 8. The black finish and 12-round magazine make me feel like it could be a modified M6C, or a completely new variant altogether.--File:PENGUIN4.gif|15px]]''[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-family:Verdana">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Penguin</span>]]<sup><small>([[User talk:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:gray">ice quack!</span>]])''</small></sup> 11:17, 5 December 2014 (EST)

:More generally, I have been skeptical of our use of Halo 4 designations for Halo 5's weapons. They might end up being entirely new weapons. Perhaps they are not "finished" yet. Weapons have always had new designations in each new game, so I doubt 343i is willing to keep the ones from Halo 4. And as far as I know, no name has ever been given for the new weapons, we're just supposing that they're the same because they look "similar".

::Exactly. However, I think it's safe to say that ''some'' of them are the same variant since they look exactly the same but with a different color scheme and/or a different sight. For instance, the DMR, AR, BR, and Sniper Rifle are identical to their previous iterations aside from different color schemes, and the only major difference in the BR is its sight, which would obviously just be a different attachment and not something that would require an entirely new variant. However the Magnum and SMG seem like entirely different variants. Especially the SMG, which now has a top-loaded magazine and ejects shell casings — something that would scream "entirely different weapon" had it not shared the same basic side profile as the M7, and will likely just be called a different M7 variant.--File:PENGUIN4.gif|15px]]''[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-family:Verdana">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Penguin</span>]]<sup><small>([[User talk:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:gray">ice quack!</span>]])''</small></sup> 11:59, 5 December 2014 (EST)
