Reach M6G pistol fired the .45 caliber, not that .50 like the public always assume.
Reach M6G pistol fired the .45 caliber, not that .50 like the public always assume.
It fires the same 12x39MM round that all guns of the M6 series fires , it does not fire a .45 caliber .
The M6G actually fires a 12.7x40mm (.50 calibre) round. Though, in Halo: The Fall of Reach the M6D is described as firing a .450 magnum load (.45 calibre), however it may well have been a prototype at the time, because the M6D in combat evolved fires the same .50 calibre round as the M6G. I know where the confusion regarding the calibre of the M6G in Halo Reach comes from: the "I see you favour a .45" achievement. I'm not trying to come across as rude or snarky, but for god's sake check the infobox on the article page, the infobox clearly states that the rounds fired by the M6 series handgun are 12.7x40mm.
