The M6C is a semi-automatic | ===Design Details=== | ||
The M6C PDWS is a semi-automatic sidearm utilized by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. The M6C is a departure from other designs in the [[M6 Series]]. While it retains the large handguard and ridges on the rear slide, the M6C's safety mechanism is located on the slide itself rather than below it on other models. | |||
Although less powerful and effective than other UNSC sidearms, the M6C sees continued use due to its resilience and reliability coupled with a comfortable and compact design alongside being highly affordable and easy to produce. {{Ref/Book|Id=HEnc22|Enc22|Section=Magnum|Page=164}} | |||
===Usage=== | |||
The M6C was used by UNSC personnel as early as 2525.{{Ref/Film|Id=HLTD|Film=Halo Legends|Story=Homecoming}} Use of the M6C continued through the [[Human-Covenant War]], and it was used by UNSC Navy and Marine Corps personnel aboard the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} and during the early stages of the [[Battle for Earth]] and [[Battle of Installation 05]].{{Ref/Game|H2}} | |||

==Gameplay== | |||
===Advantages=== | ===Advantages=== | ||
The M6C | The M6C Magnum is a reliable sidearm for quickly finishing off enemies whose shields have already been stripped. With the new dual-wield feature in Halo 2, the Magnum can be used in the [[Noob Combo]] alongside a plasma pistol, enabling the player to quickly drain an enemy's shields using the plasma pistol's overcharge and finish them off with a headshot from the Magnum. | ||
===Disadvantages=== | ===Disadvantages=== | ||
The M6C | The M6C Magnum has low damage, is fairly inaccurate, and is largely ineffective past close or medium range. These factors make the Magnum a poor choice for use in one-on-one fights with shielded opponents unless the player is capable of first draining the opponent's shields with a grenade or melee attack. | ||
