True, but its never mentioned how Misriah Armory survived. The leading theory is that it is on the opposite side of the planet from Mare Erythraeum, where the heaviest of fighting happened. I'm not even sure what their functioning has to do with anything. They are a small arms manufacturer. Not like we can borrow a tank or even a rocket launcher from them.

Wiki:
[quote]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.[2] 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.[3] Misriah also produced the Security variant of the MJOLNIR Mark V in 2543. In addition to producing most of the UNSC's arsenal, Misriah also produces many of its vehicles and equipment, from the ODST Ballistic Battle Armor to the Longsword Interceptor.[/quote]
