Cause its really fast and strong like one.

  • 07.16.2009 10:37 AM PDT

The jerk store called; their all outa you

because its a pistol which people like refering to as a magnum, and its shoots as fast as you can tap the trigger butten which makes it seem almost as fast as an automatic, thus... the automag...

  • 07.16.2009 10:38 AM PDT

Because it fires at almost auto speed. It's a magnum. Combine the two and you get "Auto Mag". It's a slang term for it.

Why don't we call of the other weapons by their crazy names? Like Type 1 whatever.

Yeah, I'm really going to tell my squad mate/ teammate to let me use His SRS99D-S2 AM. I'd stick with the nickname.

Many magnum pistols are revolvers. This one is semi-aoutomatic. Hence, Automag.

Just give it up! The terms Auto-mag, M6C/ SOCOM, Magnum, Pistol, and all the other names for the pistol are correct. Let this thread die! It's useless!

  • 07.16.2009 11:19 AM PDT

It's because, like the H:CE pistol, you can fire it as fast as you can pull the trigger. Making the magazine empty out out almost automatically. Automatic-Magazine=Auto-Mag.

P.S.Magazine is the military word for clip.

Every pistol in Halo history has been a Semi-Automatic Magnum.

No one calls it by it's real name. Have you ever seen the real name of a warthog? It is long.

  • 07.16.2009 12:58 PM PDT

At least call it the Socom, instead of a generic name that could refer to any Halo pistol.

Why not let people call it what it's supposed to be called/they want to call it? (unless it's something ridiculous like auto-blam!- or something)

"The M6D Personal Defense Weapon System, otherwise known as the M6D Magnum Sidearm"

-Halopedia

It was called a magnum and it was automatic. Hence the Halo 1 pistol should be called the Auto-Mag.
