'''Laser Aiming Modules''', otherwise known as '''laser sights''', '''point lasers''', or '''infrared pointers''' are [[weapon attachments]] used for sighting. These sights are used on [[M7 Caseless Submachine Gun|M7]] and [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|M7S Caseless SMGs]] and [[M6C/SOCOM]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'''</ref> | '''Laser Aiming Modules''' (abbreviated '''LAM'''), otherwise known as '''laser sights''', '''point lasers''', or '''infrared pointers''' are [[weapon attachments]] used for sighting.

They are mostly used for night operations where aiming with conventional sights would be difficult. With these "pointers", Special Forces such as the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s, as they are the primary users for such equipment, can align them to a target, making aiming easier. Another variant of this would be infrared lasers, such as the ones used on the [[Spartan Laser]]. Contrary to popular belief, the laser pointer will not draw a red line in the air towards its target, unless there is sufficient atmospheric disturbance, such as dust or smoke, between the pointer and the target. | They are mostly used for night operations where aiming with conventional sights would be difficult.
