OK, EVERYONE has been saying the M6D is "unrealistic" well look at this:

Lets compare the M6D to a real life Pistol, say the Desert Eagle. The Desert Eagle is basiclly EXACTLY like an M6D, It measures 10.75 inches and is one of the biggest pistols in the world.

The M6D Shoots 12mm High Explosive rounds, That is COMPLETELY equal to the now-a-day 45ACP Black Tipped bullets, the Desert Eagle can shoot 45ACP, or 50AE which is EVEN MORE POWERFULL than the M6D.

The M6D Has a MAX range of 123 Meters, guess what? the Desert Eagle Has an effective range of OVER 100 METERS!!! WHO SAYS THE M6D IS unrealistic!?? so the M6D has Equal range, Equal power to a real life pistol. BUT WAIT. THERES MORE: You can EASILY mount a Scope onto the DEsert Eagle or another Pistol today!!!

SO HOW, JUST TELL ME HOW IS THE M6D UNREALISTIC??

sorry bout the caps.

Then why would you make this thread. You are not saying anything new or interesting. It appears as though your goal in life is to get flamed over an issue that doesn't matter anymore.

That far into the future and the best pistol mankind has is just as good as the Desert Eagle?

So in what? 500 years no one's thought of a stronger psistol?...Funny. Oh well, at least it works!

(Guess that's the other one...)

The game isn't about realism. It's about a cyborg that fights aliens.

They changed the pistol because it was a stupid weapon that was too advantageous. It inevitably became exactly like the battle rifle. The only weapon anyone would ever use.
Deal with it.

One shot to the head with a Deagle and you would be dead. Your comparison is inaccurate.

I love how everyone gets on here and flames people calling them nerds but they spend all damn day on a video game website's forums like the rest of us arguing over a science fiction game.

I only saw the word "Nerd" twice, and once was coming from you. Whats wrong with having a discussion over something you enjoy?
Just because we all play Halo 2 as a hobby definately does not mean that we are "Nerds" and that's all we do. I have a job and play basketball and skateboard alongside of playing Halo 2. Please don't stereotype, It isn't kind.

the Desert Eagle can shoot 45ACP

Nope, Desert Eagle comes in .357, .41, .44, .440 and .50 calibers. Although there might be a .45 ACP version of the Baby Eagle.

If it's so realistic, how come EVERY SINGLE SHOT flys perfectly straight?

Then this would belong in the Halo 1 Forum, right?


I don't care how realistic something is, it doesn't make it balanced.

Elite_swordsman,

I was at first going to flame the piss out of you. However, instead I'm going to give you a chance to show how much you've learned about citing reference material.

I'm looking specifically for factory provided specs on the ".45 ACP Black Tipped" bullet that would be the equivalant to a (fictional) 12mm HE round.

There are .45ACP rounds that are tracers. They use a coating either on the tip or base of the round and are designed to be ignited by friction to make the round visible in flight. There are also .45 ACP IT (Incendiary Tracer). they have the same qualities as a tracer with an added compound that starts a spark ignition, kind of like a very large match-stick head upon striking a hard surface. Neither of these are 'high explosive". The last case of this stuff I shot at the PD range during a night fire exercise happened to have no color on the tip at all.

The color black is generally used to designate an AP (armor piercing) round. The bullet usually contains a hardened steel core that seperates from the copper jacketed lead round and continues to penetrate an armored surface. I stil have a few of those lying around in .30-06 Springfield.

I won't tell you you are full of manure, or the victim of some mall-ninjas gun posting. I'll instead allow you the opportunity to site factual information supporting your ascertion.

BTW. Don't attempt at BSing us. The guys on this thread wil be waiting to verify the information and then stomp you. If however, you can provide legitimate information backing up your statement then, kudos.

Of course, calling a fictional weapon realistic is a bit ignorant to begin with but, this could be fun watching you try.
