The '''Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6/E Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle (W/AV M6/E G/GNR)''', colloquially known as the '''M6/E Spartan Laser''' or the '''E ("Enhanced") model M6''',{{Ref/Site|Id=lockeandloaded|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-locke-load|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Cannon Fodder - Locke & Load|D=13|M=4|Y=2016}} is a variant of the [[M6 Spartan Laser]] [[directed-energy weapon]] manufactured by [[Misriah Armory]] and used by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
{{Main|M6 Spartan Laser}}
The M6/E Spartan Laser is one of a myriad of variants of the [[M6 Spartan Laser|M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle]], an initially exorbitantly expensive weapon which underwent several refinements and iterations to reduce its cost.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/spartan-laser|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Spartan Laser}} As with all variants of the Spartan Laser, the M6/E has an integrated and [[Smart-linking|smart-linked]] [[Wyrd optics suite|Wyrd III optics suite]], capable of 3× magnification.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} Manufactured after the [[Human-Covenant War]], the M6/E is installed with miniaturized components derived from the [[M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Cannon|nonlinear cannon M6 variant]] originally mounted on the chin of the [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]].{{Ref/Reuse|localunits}} Despite functionally just as capable as other variants, the M6/E is an order of magnitude cheaper to manufacture.{{Ref/Reuse|lockeandloaded}}

===Variants===
* '''[[Endgame]]''': An improved model of the M6/E variant with a doubled battery capacity and reduced charge time. It has the downside of having less strength than its normal counterpart.
* '''[[Selene's Lance]]''': An advanced variant of the M6/E model, built using new components from the labs in [[Seongnam]]. It has a faster charge time and a longer beam duration, with 50% additional battery capacity compared to its normal counterpart. The targeting laser is also harmful. In [[War Games]] simulations, balancing adds extra recoil and removes the beam's ability to pierce through multiple targets. It is also equipped with a Forerunner anti-materiél effect that can disintegrate enemies upon death or dead bodies in the same manner as the [[Z-180 Scattershot|Scattershot]] and [[Z-390 incineration cannon|Incineration Cannon]].

===Usage===
The M6/E was upgraded to combat heavy armor,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} and functions primarily as an anti-tank ordnance.{{Ref/Reuse|lockeandloaded}} In the wake of the [[Created conflict]], the M6/E became the variant preferred by {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]] to combat the emergent [[Forerunner]] threats.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} 

==Gameplay==
{{Main|Spartan Laser}}
The M6/E Spartan Laser is featured in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' as a usable weapon known as the [[Spartan Laser]]. It is a [[power weapon]], which fires a powerful laser that deals an incredible amount of damage, destroying all vehicles with a single well-placed shot. The Spartan Laser is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, and to compensate, it has a limited use of four shots, a short cooldown after a discharge, and inability to pick up ammo.

==Production notes==
The ''Selene's Lance'' variant of the M6/E Spartan Laser is likely named after the [[Wikipedia:Selene|Greek Goddess of the same name]].
