A '''laser aiming module | A '''laser aiming module''', 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> | ||
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.
