The '''M6G Personal Defense Weapon System''' ('''PDWS''') is a handgun in [[Misriah Armory]]'s [[M6 series]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=165}}

==Overview==

The M6G has a higher rate of fire than the [[M6G2 magnum]] modification package, though its accuracy suffers slightly as a result. The slide is tapered at the rear and sports forward-facing, diagonal serrations. The magazine release is set above and parallel to the lower lip of the trigger; the magazine's lip is shaped like an irregular trapezoid. The striker juts farther from the slide, reminiscent of a hammer. This model is equipped with an underslung flashlight attachment or laser module.

===Ammunition===

*Features a 2× zoom function.

*Has reticle bloom, like most weapons in ''Halo: Reach''.

*Nearly doubled rate of fire (though its rate of fire is identical when firing only at minimum bloom).

*Different reloading and melee animations that are very similar to those of the M6D from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', wherein the SPARTAN flips the weapon in the air after striking.

==Trivia==

*In ''Halo: Reach'', Spartans wielding M6Gs use a nearly identical melee animation to the M6D pistol in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. Elites, however, use an animation similar to that used by both species in ''Halo 3''.

*John-117 wields an M6G (''Halo: Reach'' version) in the cover art of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' in lieu of the M6D, which is featured in the game. The cover art was designed while the ''Reach'' M6G model was being used as a placeholder for the M6D during the development of the game and was not changed when the pistol's in-game model was replaced (ironically, by ''Halo 3''{{'}}s M6G2 model).
