As designated in its name, the M634 X-HP-SAP is an experimental round. It uses a special propellant that allows it to achieve a higher muzzle velocity than the M118 7.62×51mm round while using a smaller cartridge. It is also semi-armor-piercing, meaning that it mixes the properties of an [[armor piercing round]] with the properties of another type of round. The second type is unknown, though it is most likely similar to the [[M225 SAP-HE]] used in the [[M6 Series]].

Unlike most ammunition types in the Halo games, this is not a real-life ammo type, the closest comparison being the [[wikipedia:9×39mm|9×39mm]] special purpose round, also known as the “Kurz.” Designed in the Soviet Union, this round was designed to defeat lighter body armours, while being subsonic to maximize stealth potential; it appears most real-life weapons firing the bullet have ''integrated'' silencers. However, the M634 does not appear to be subsonic, as it produces a super-sonic “crack” or “whip” when fired, and is instead intended for high-velocity and long-range marksmanship.
