The KFA-2 x2[1] is a UNSC scope used on the M6B, M6D, M6F and M6H[2] pistol sidearms but not on any the other weapons in the M6 Series. It is a 2x magnification smart-linked scope that relays visual data directly into the user's HUD (Heads Up Display), and possibly functions like a small camera. This stands in contrast to normal optical scopes such as the one featured on the BR55 Battle Rifle, whereby the user has to look into the scope. Marines that do not wear a helmet with a visor or an eye piece has this HUD interface overlaid their normal sight via their Standard Neural Interface. This scope was only featured in Halo:CE, and was absent in the other two sequels. The reason for this was because Bungie decided that the pistol behaved more like a rifle with the scope.
Efficiency
Because of it's ability to engage enemies from a distance, the KFA-2 is quite possibly the entire reason for the M6D's legendary performance as a powerful weapon, as the M6C has about the same power as the M6D.
Trivia
- Because of this sight, Robert McLees commented that Halo:CE players used the M6D more of a semi-auto rifle than a handgun. This led to the M6C replacing the M6D in Halo 2.
- The M6C/SOCOM featured in Halo 3: ODST uses a similar smart-linked scope, the VnSLS/V 6E, which has a 4x zoom, rather than 2x as with the KFA-2.
- The scope may originally have been intended to be a laser aiming module. When using third-party tools to import the pistol's first-person model tag into a 3D editor, a marker named "#laser" appears in front of the scope.
