"Dropped another one!"

-Anonymous Colonial Fringer

Overview
This somewhat unremarkable handgun served as the primary sidearm of the Colonial Fringers. Originally produced for several private security firms and various police agencies, the T-68 fell into Fringer hands after a freighter carrying 10,000 of them was captured by Kig-Yar pirates. Disappointed by their haul of "worthless" Human weapons, the Kig-Yar sold the T-68s to the Fringers for a dozen crates of Plasma Grenades

Design
The T-68 operated on the short-recoil principle, although its large and heavy slide is not always fully blown back by the small charge of the 5x23mm round. The handgrip is ergonomically designed, and designed to be comfortable for both right- and left-handed users. The tube mgazine fits just below the barrel, a feature that limits its capacity and can make reloading awakward.

Colonial Fringer Remarks
"It's heavy, but it is reasonably effective."

"I've carried this baby as a sidearm for three years now and I can tell you it flat-out works, even with that wierd mag placement and the jams."

UNSC Remarks
"Too big to conceal. Round marginally effective. Accuracy farir. Difficult to reload. Overall rating: Average."-UNSC Adversary Weapons Report
