(Doesn't Forge use an M6E? His sidearm has an electroless nickel finish, isn't up-sized, and doesn't seem to use SAP-HP rounds.) |

The '''M6C Personal Defense Weapon System''',<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx '''Bungie.net''': ''ODST Guide'']</ref> otherwise known as the '''M6C Magnum Sidearm''', is a [[United Nations Space Command]] sidearm. It is a variant of [[Misriah Armory]]'s [[M6 series|M6 handgun series]]. | |||

The M6C | ==Overview== | ||
===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}} | |||
===Ammunition=== | ===Ammunition=== | ||
The M6C Magnum | The M6C Magnum fires [[M225|M225 12.7x40mm Semi Armor-Piercing High Explosive]] cartridges from a 12-round magazine.{{Ref/Reuse|HEnc22}} | ||
==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. | ||
= | === Changes from the M6D PDWS in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''=== | ||
== | *The M6C has a much faster fire rate, but far less stopping power. | ||
* | *Lacks a targeting scope. | ||
* | *Takes 13 headshots to kill rather than 3. | ||
* | *Can be dual-wielded. | ||
=== | ===Changes from ''Halo 2'' to ''Halo 2: Anniversary''=== | ||
* | *Takes 11 headshots to kill rather than 13 in multiplayer. | ||
*Overall update as part of Anniversary remaster. | |||
