{{Main|MK50 Sidekick}}

Manufactured by [[Emerson Tactical Systems]], the [[MK50 Sidekick]] is a semi-automatic handgun in service with the [[UNSC Armed Forces]]. Described as "powerful and compact", it fires 10mm rounds from a detachable box magazine that typically holds 12 rounds. It differs significantly from the [[M6 series]], the UNSC's most prominent sidearm, lacking the M6's signature hand-guard and [[Smart-linking|smart-linked optic]], the [[KFA-2 x2]], while also firing a lower calibre round. The weapon usually sports an olive green and matte black finish.{{Ref/Game|Id=HIMK50|HI|[[weapon]]: MK50 Sidekick}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Monster|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/08/31/xbox-monster-energy-promotion/|Site=Xbox Wire|Page=Bank Now, Play Later: Halo Infinite Meets Monster Energy Global Partnership|D=6|M=8|Y=2021}}
