Talk:M6G magnum

= Eric Nylund's Halo: First Strike novel' Pistol = Did any one ever think that the pistols in the novel could be the M6G considering they are described as being quite powerful and having a larger and longer barrel.

Pistol or Magnum?
Should this article be named M6G Pistol or M6G Magnum? This article mentions BOTH. Confusing.... --Sp art an7 81  TalkundefinedCSV

In Halo 3, it's called the "Magnum" so thats what it shall be called.... --User:MLG Cheehwawa

Renaming
Hey, why don't you guys rename this article "M6G HE Magnum"? --Sp art an7 81  TalkundefinedCSV


 * I'm not sure there's been any confirmation yet that it's an HE pistol. -The Dark Lord Azathoth 19:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Why there's no scope on the M6G
I belive there is no scope on the new M6G because of a common principal of Halo: no scoped weapon can be dual wielded. In halo: Combat Evolved, the M6D was scoped because you could only single wield it. now that the pistol can be dual wielded, bungie had to remove the scope or go against the "Law" of duel wielding--Ryan926 03:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

i have no facts 2 confirm this. but if the M6G looks like the M6D including scope. then perhaps the scope is available in single wield and not in dual wield as your sights could only cope with 1 scoped weapon at a time. i hope this is the case. if u think about it the pistol fires slower than the M6D and takes more rounds to kill. that would balance the argument of unfair pistol sniping.

ive posted this idea on B net and got flame after flame after flame :( anyway thats just my thoughts. Triggerhappymole 14:38, 7 August 2007 (UTC) (edited to include my new logon account)

Fix'd
I fixed a phrase that said the M6G has the range/accuracy of the M6D -- Not true, anyone who played customs in the Beta knows that. I also removed the "more balanced" phrase from the "trivia" portion, that was not an 'in-joke' a weapon becomes is heavier in front than in back when unloaded, Fred loaded it and it became balanced because the weight in back evend it out when he loaded the weapon. --User:MLG Cheehwawa

Guys...the stats box...
I fixed some of those stats, the M6G's accuracy may be "high" but it is most certainly not "Very high" as a Sniper's (Hell, the M6D is only "High" not "Very High"). It also is not a long range weapon, it's a close range dual wieldable but can be wielded (not very well) at middle range, but would be outgunned by any midrange gun since they all fire/kill faster in those ranges. --User:MLG Cheehwawa

12 Round Clip...
Shouldn't the M6G stay at its 8-round clip rather than having it at 12? It makes no sence if the M6G is more powerful than the Battle Rifle and has teh same ammo. Plus, when its dual-wielded, it just becomes way too overpowered. Its much more balanced at 8 rounds, and in the Campaign Trailer, it shows flashing red 8 rounds. Maybe Bungie is joking about the ammo capacity to have the fanboys cheer that they have the closest thing to the M6D back. I'd say its much more unique if it stays at its 8-round clip but has the same power shown in the Beta. --User:Don Eddy

Its waht Bungie have said and its more or less set in stone, leave it! lol --Ajax 013 01:53, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
