Misriah Armory

"Battle tested for your home"

- A slogan from an ad of Misriah Armory

The Misriah Armory is an armory located on the planet Mars. Their logo is a winged hourglass flanked by two double "X"'s usually located on the cartridge base of ammunition.

Products
Most standard-issue UNSC weapons such as the M6 Series, BR55HB SR Battle Rifle, and Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel are produced by Misriah armory. While the DTM Series of shotguns were normally produced by the Weapon System Technologies, Misriah apparently produced a variant as well, possibly by license. Civilians were also apparently able to buy military-grade weapons such as the BR55 and the M90, as evidenced by an advertisement for the company. Misriah Armory also produces hand-loaded match-grade ammunition for the SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle, used by Linda-058 during the Battle of Onyx. Misriah also produced the Security variant of the MJOLNIR Mark V in 2543.

Appearances
The name or logo of the company can be seen engraved on most of the weapons it produces. In the The Art of Halo book, it shows a side view of the M6C Magnum Sidearm, which has "Misriah" stamped on the side. The engraving can be seen on the side of the pistol in the Halo 3 Beta and the Halo: Arms Race, Part 1 short as well. Its logo can also be seen hidden in a generic space ship flying around Anchor 9, to find it exit the map in theater mode go inside one through the cockpit and view the screen in the front. Below the screen Misriah Armory is written in white. The logo can now also be seen on the side of an ODST helmet in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary ' s new Firefight mission, Installation 04. The Misriah Armory is also noted on the side of the Sniper Rifle System 99 Anti-Materiel, however instead of a logo the name of the company is written; this can be seen in Multiplayer Matchmaking. Another mention is in the Halo: Reach Campaign, specifically, in the mission New Alexandria. During this mission, one possible side objective is clearing the top of a building of Elites and Engineers. Kat, the players mission operator, says this building is "the Misriah complex".
