==Trivia==
*Due to its use of a more traditional trigger guard rather than the full handguard of the M6 series pistols, the MK50 is the first handgun in the series to be held properly by the player since the [[M6D magnum|M6D]], as opposed to the inadvisable "teacup" grip seen used with all M6 magnums since the [[M6C magnum|M6C]] in ''[[Halo 2]]''.
