The M20 is visually similar to its predecessor, though it differs in using a new high-velocity armor-piercing round that increases the amount of kinetic energy imparted to the target, specifically developed to counter the proliferation of military-grade armor among Insurrectionist cells and as a response to Covenant energy shield technology.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/submachine-gun '''Halo Waypoint''': ''SMG'']</ref> The weapon uses top-mounted magazines of cased ammunition rather than the side-mounted magazines of caseless ammunition used by the M7. Otherwise, the weapon is very similar, featuring an adjustable grip under the weapon and a telescoping stock which can be retracted, allowing the weapon to be fired one-handed, and although the most commonly issued model features a telescopic sight attachment, the weapon also accomodated an array of sound suppressors, laser targeters and recoil stabilisers. The weapon is also compatible with kinetic bolts that impart more kinetic energy to the target, and can be equipped with an energy bayonett.<ref>'''[[Halo Online]]'''</ref> | |||
