| |
| The M6/V 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|Section=Universe|Page=Spartan Laser}}. As with all variants of the Spartan Laser, the M6/V has an integrated and [[Smart-linking|smart-linked]] [[Wyrd optics suite|Wyrd III optics suite]], capable of 3× magnification.{{Ref/Site|Id=bnet|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=ordnance&cid=28444|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Ordnance: Spartan Laser|Quote=The M6 G/GNR (more formally Weapon/Anti-Vehicle, Directed Energy, M6) is a semi-automatic only laser weapon.

| ===Usage===
| |
| The M6/V is typically used in both anti-vehicle and anti-personnel roles,{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}}{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} and was heavily employed in the final years of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} In [[2552#August|late 2552]], the M6/V Spartan Laser was extensively used throughout the [[Fall of Reach]], including during the [[Siege of New Alexandria]] and the [[Battle of Asźod]].{{Ref/Reuse|hr}}{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Jazwares}}{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Kat}} The use of this Spartan Laser model was also used in [[Battle for Earth]], with [[Corporal]] [[Taylor Miles]] of [[103rd Shock Troops Battalion]]'s [[Alpha-Nine]] employing one such variant at some point during the [[Battle of Mombasa]] after [[Prophet of Regret]]'s ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' departure from the city.{{Ref/Book|Book=[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo]]|Page=112}}

| | |
| Almost [[2559|seven years]] after the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Jerome-092]]'s [[Red Team]] from crews of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} used M6/V Spartan Lasers during the [[Second Ark Conflict]] against the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Reuse|hw2}}

| ==Gameplay==
| |
| {{Main|Spartan Laser}}
| |
| The M6/V Spartan Laser is featured in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' 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==
| |
| As a reference to [[Project GUNGNIR|its development program]], the side of the M6/V has the [[List of references to Norse mythology in Halo|Norse]] symbol for [[Wikipedia:Gungnir|Gungnir]] etched into it, which was the mythical spear wielded by the god [[Wikipedia:Odin|Odin]] in Norse Mythology. Gungnir was described as having the ability to always hit its mark. Part of the mythology is that Odin would hurl his spear over the doomed side of a battle.
