| 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> | | [[Image:UNSC Laser Designator.png|300px|thumb|right|The Laser Designator]] |
| | The '''Laser Designator''' is a [[United Nations Space Command]] piece of equipment <ref>[http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/last-one-standing/halo-sweeps/halo-sweeps.html] Halo: Last One Standing</ref>, using a modified SRS-99D S2 AM Sniper Rifle butt stock, pistol grip and body to mount a [[laser]] target designator. |

| ==Background==
| | It was first seen in use during the short video, [[Halo: Last One Standing]], by an injured [[UNSC Marine]] [[ODST|Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]], [[S. Hartley]], during the [[Battle of Western Pakistan|Battle of]] [[Pakistan|Western Pakistan]]. Though injured, he used it to acquire the trajectory information of the [[Master Chief]] (Sierra 117)'s descent through [[Earth]]'s atmosphere, pinpointing his eventual crash site. |

| 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> | | The designator uses the same butt-stock, pistol grip and main section as the 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<ref>[http://wetaworkshop.com/projects/filmography/galleries/halo3 WETA Workshop gallery]</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.
