They are also remarkably large and overpowered to an extent, appearing to be redolent of a cross between a pistol and a rifle in size. In addition to power, the M6 line of weaponry is designed to be exceedingly rugged and reliable, and the guns are able to remain operational after [[Slipspace]] transitions and high-g aerial maneuvers, as well as the rigors sustained during standard combat.
