 ==Overview==
+===Design===
+Manufactured by [[Emerson Tactical Systems]], the [[MK50 Sidekick]] is a semi-automatic handgun in service with the [[UNSC Armed Forces]]. Described as "powerful and compact", it fires 10mm rounds from a detachable box magazine that typically holds 12 rounds. It differs significantly from the [[M6 series]], the UNSC's most prominent sidearm, lacking the M6's signature hand-guard and [[Smart-linking|smart-linked optic]], the [[KFA-2 x2]], while also firing a lower caliber round. The design of the MK50 is relatively simplistic, with a segmented slide and basic, analogue ironsights. A safety switch is present on the left side of the weapon, above the trigger-guard. Emerson Tactical Systems' emblem is worked into the grip.{{Ref/Reuse|HICGP}} The weapon usually sports an olive green and matte black finish.{{Ref/Game|Id=HIMK50|HI|[[weapon]]: MK50 Sidekick}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Monster|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/08/31/xbox-monster-energy-promotion/|Site=Xbox Wire|Page=Bank Now, Play Later: Halo Infinite Meets Monster Energy Global Partnership|D=6|M=8|Y=2021}}
 ===Specifications===
-The MK50 Sidekick is a powerful and compact<ref name="monster">[https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/08/31/xbox-monster-energy-promotion/ Xbox Wire; Bank Now, Play Later: Halo Infinite Meets Monster Energy Global Partnership]</ref> semi-automatic handgun which fires 10mm rounds from a 12-round detachable box magazine. It is significantly distinctive from the UNSC's typically-employed [[M6 series]] in both form and function, as it lacks the hand-guard and typical [[KFA-2 x2|smart-linked optic]] of the latter series, as well as being chambered in a substantially smaller ammunition type than the M6's [[12.7x40mm|12.7mm rounds]]. The design of the MK50 is relatively simplistic, with a segmented slide and basic, analogue ironsights. A safety switch is present on the left side of the weapon, above the trigger-guard. Emerson Tactical Systems' emblem is worked into the grip.{{Ref/Reuse|HICGP}}
+The MK50 Sidekick is a rapid fire sidearm and performs optimally at close to medium range, although accuracy loss is considerable when fired in restless succession.
 ===History===
-The MK50 used in [[2560]] by [[John-117]] featured a matte black and olive green finish.{{Ref/Reuse|HICGP}}
+The MK50 Sidekick entered production at some point before [[2559]]. By December 2559, the weapon was in service with UNSC forces aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, and saw action at the [[Installation 07 conflict]]. In [[2560|the following year]], the weapon was again used at [[Installation 07|the ring]].{{Ref/Game|HI|[[campaign]]}}
