==Overview==
===Design details===
{{Main|M6 Spartan Laser}}
The M6/X Spartan Laser is one of a myriad of variants of the [[M6 Spartan Laser|M6Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle]], an initially exorbitantly expensive weapon which underwent several refinements and iterations to reduce its cost.{{Ref/Reuse|hw}} As with all variants of the Spartan Laser, the M6/X has an integrated and [[Smart-linking|smart-linked]] [[Wyrd optics suite|Wyrd III optics suite]], capable of 3× magnification.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} The weapon is also equipped with a foldable targeting display on its side, much like the [[M6/V Spartan Laser]].{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}} Powered by [[Series 6971 battery cell]]s,{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}}{{Ref/Reuse|hw}} the M6/X employs an experimental alternating power distributor that was considered a revolutionary modification.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}

===Usage===
The M6/X is effective at both anti-vehicle and anti-personnel roles,{{Ref/Reuse|guide}} and was employed by UNSC expeditionary forces.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} Following the [[Human-Covenant War]], in [[2557]], the M6/X was carried onboard ''[[Ivanoff Station]]'' situated near [[Installation 03]].{{Ref/Level|H4|Composer (level)}} When {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} returned to [[Requiem]] in [[2558]], its detachment of [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]] made use of the M6/X in the [[Requiem Campaign|ensuing campaign]].

==Gameplay==
{{Main|Spartan Laser}}
The M6/X Spartan Laser is featured in ''[[Halo 4]]'' 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.
