M6 pistol

The M6 is a family of UNSC-made pistols operating on the short recoil principle manufactured by Misriah Armoury. The M6 fires the 12.7x40mm, a semi-armour-piercing round that gives the pistol superior stopping power but without the risk of over-penetration.

M6 pistols are remarkably large and overpowered to an extent, appearing to be redolent of a cross between a pistol or a rifle in size. In addition to power, the M6 line of weaponry is designed to be rugged and reliable, and pistols are able to remain operational after long periods without cleaning, Slipspace transitions, high-g aerial manoeuvres, and excessive fouling of parts by foreign matter. Because of this durability, the M6 has remained the UNSCDF's service pistol for almost 160 years, and it sees significant use among law enforcement agencies and the militaries of other powers.
