==Introduction== | ==Introduction== | ||
The M6 series have seen widespread distribution through the [[United Nations Space Command Defense Force]] as lighter firearms, although they are not always seen as primary weapons because of their lighter penetrating power. They have seen usage in the UNSC for almost 140 years.<ref name="M6G">[http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3pistol '''Bungie.net''': M6g Personal Defense Weapon System] ''"The M6 has been in service for about a hundred and forty years… it’s amazing to think how little it has changed in all that time."''</ref> | |||

== | ==UNSC Remarks== | ||
''"The M6 is either the world’s biggest pistol or the world’s smallest rifle — I’m not sure which."'' | |||
''"It’s strange. Normally a big bore means access to a greater variety of exotic munitions, but we just don’t see that variety in the field."'' | |||
''"The M6 has been around forever; the number of variants and configurations is dizzying... have you ever seen an M6J(C) — the Army’s carbine variant?"'' | |||
''"The M6 has been in service for about a hundred and forty years... it’s amazing to think how little it has changed in all that time."'' | |||
''"The longevity of the M6 has always been more about pork barrels and [[Slipspace]] travel than reliability or the so-called brilliance of its design."'' | |||
''"The '''A'''<nowiki />'s and '''B'''<nowiki />'s are way more comfortable to shoot, but you don’t see many of them outside of civilian security forces anymore."'' | |||
