+A '''laser aiming module''' (abbreviated '''LAM''')<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 229''</ref> otherwise known as a '''laser sight''', '''point laser''', or '''infrared pointer''' is a [[weapon attachment]] 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.
