M6C/SOCOM (Earth-5875)

"M6S - whisper-quiet with armor-piercing rounds. Brutes might see us coming, but the only thing they'll hear is their asses hitting the ground."

- - Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck

The M6C/SOCOM, also known as the M6S and the Automag is a semi-automatic pistol in the M6 family of pistols, and a variant of the M6C pistol.

Design details
The M6C/SOCOM is a special variant of the M6C pistol used exclusively to operators of the UNSC Special Forces. It integrates a silencer and serve as the secondary weapon of an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, and is used in operations that require silence and stealth rather than direct confrontation. Much like the KFA-2 x2 scope used on the M6D pistol, the M6C/SOCOM emplopys the VnSLS/V 6E smart 4× scope, which allow the user to eliminate targets at longe range while using limited recoil because of the integral silencer. It has a sizable rate of fire and good range, able to hit targets in a distance of fifty meters. It is weaker than the M6G pistol against shielded and heavily armored enemies.
