The '''laser designator''' is a portable targeting [[laser]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]].<ref name="landfall">'''[[Halo: Landfall]]''' - ''[[Halo: Last One Standing]]''</ref>


==Background==
It was first seen during the short video, [[Halo: Last One Standing]], by a injured [[UNSC Marine]] [[ODST|Shock Trooper]].
[[File:UNSC_Laser_Pointer.PNG|thumb|S. Hartley utilizing the laser designator on the Master Chief.]]
The designator uses the same butt-stock, pistol grip and main section as the [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel|SRS-99D S2 AM Sniper Rifle]], with the only difference being the absence of an ammunition magazine and barrel, and the replacement of these with a laser designator and different optical scope. The UNSC laser designator also has a [[Misriah]] logo on its stock, a feature retained from its SRS99D-S2 AM roots.<ref>[http://wetaworkshop.com/projects/filmography/galleries/halo3 '''WETA Workshop''' - ''Gallery'']</ref>
 
The laser designator was first seen in use in the [[Battle of Sector Six]] during the [[Battle for Earth]], by an injured [[UNSC Marine]] [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]], [[S. Hartley]]. After retrieving the package containing the designator from a combat zone with [[T. Rymann]], the ODSTs proceeded to a position in [[Sector Six]] in order to acquire the trajectory information of [[John-117]]'s descent through [[Earth]]'s atmosphere. Though injured, Hartley succeeded in the task and the UNSC ground forces got to Spartan-117's crash site in time.{{Ref/Reuse|landfall}}<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[Sierra 117]]''</ref>


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
Visible on the side of the laser designator is the [[Wikipedia:CE mark|CE mark]], which denotes compliance with European Union safety regulations. The "CE" is an abbreviation of a French term meaning "European Conformity". This may imply that the laser produced by the laser designator is not dangerous to any living human on its own.
*The buttstock and pistol grip are the same as featured on the [[SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle]].
