HR: UNSC Weapons - Magnum Human Pistol (M6G)

Basic description: Semi-automatic, single-shot, 8 round magazine, 40 rounds total. Headshot capable, light recoil, very accurate. Very similar to the original pistol from Halo 1. Is usually the secondary weapon for all Spartan loadouts.

NEW FOR HALO REACH: Zoom capable, accuracy affected by reticle bloom.  Bullets are "instant-hit" instead of "real-time travel over distance."  This means you hit when you shoot, regardless of range, no need to lead targets anymore.

Restrictions: Subject to recoil and will lose accuracy when bullet spamming.

Uses: Short to medium range, good as secondary weapon to finish headshots. Used alone, kills with 4 body shots and 1 head shot. Superior to DMR/Needle Rifle in close quarters due to easier headshots and less recoil. Good for killing jet pack players. Very good in close quarters on Team SWAT.

Best for: Players with a knack for headshots and those that are efficient with ammo. Because it takes a minimum 5 shots for a kill and has only 8 shots in a magazine, there is not much room for error.
