In forge mode, there is a glitch where whenever you switch to monitor mode just before the laser fires, when you switch back occasionally three or more shots fire out rapidly.

:Whoever you are, while your argument doesn't make any sense -- you are actually correct. A laser cannot possibly be a rifle. Rifle's get their name from special grooves in the barrel (called rifling). A laser generally doesn't have a barrel, much less rifling in that barrel. A laser has an emitter, not a barrel or action. Therefore it is, in fact, errantly named.

Well, while an energy weapon cannot be a rifle by definition, it can be a rifle by function. Rifles have several recognizable characteristics other than the rifling mechanism, such as size, accuracy, and use; all of which are in some way tied into the rifling mechanism.~~A.O.A~~ 15:01, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

It's most likely called the Spartan Laser because only a Spartan can lift and use the laser unassisted. Johnson is the only Marine to use the Laser, and he could be a possible Spartan I. You can give it to a Marine in The Covenant, but this is probably a programming oversight.[[User:Metaridley|Metaridley]] 15:54, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

It was around long before the Human-Separatist Alliance. It was in Halo Wars so that defeats that theory. I think the UNSC just developed it on its own. [[Special:Contributions/98.154.60.146|98.154.60.146]] 00:33, 8 November 2010 (EST)

This line is nonsensical IMO a laser beam is a laser beam since no matter how you produce it the end product is the same thing a beam of light all lined up and flying in on direction. Its ability to destroy armored vehicles has nothing to do how it produces the beam only with the beams power output. The most powerful lasers of today ''are'' chemical lasers, but that’s mainly because of power and other technical limitations, and most laser envsioned as weapons are expected to be of the solid state or free electron type. This is because a gas or chemical laser just makes a very poor weapons as they require large amounts of highly volatile and toxic chemicals to function which are expended as the weapon fires.

The Spartan Laser has a “battery” and can be recharged, but no mention is made of replacing gases only recharging the battery. This makes it MUCH more likely in my view that it’s some form of free electronic or solid state laser which uses some type of permanent lasing material and electricity to produce the coherent light beam. With modern power generation a laser of the M6’s power and compact size is unlikely, but we also can’t produce nuclear bombs that crack moons or engines that produce enough thrust to allow something bigger then a Nimitz class aircraft carrier to fly in the atmosphere so such issues are likely of less concern to the UNSC.

OK, I know the beam goes on almost forever (right?) but still, what are you going to do, snipe a moving target with that from across the field? i think not, the great thing about any sniper rifle is it can shoot at a seconds notice, but the Laser, try 3 or 4 if you're quick, and it could give away a good sniping position virtually saying "Herez i iz,c0me an kill meh!"

It isn't recoil, its just the shock that it releases that mae it seem to move backwards. It seems to recoil just because the wielder's anatomy makes it difficult to take the laser's backfire. A recoil doesn't come from projectile, it comes from HEAT.

Ever fired a real gun? Even a B.B. gun? Maybe a paintball gun? All of those have recoil. Recoil does not come from heat. Recoil is the equal and opposite reaction of a controlled explosion propelling a projectile from a weapon. [[User talk:Griever0311|Griever0311]] 11:25, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Having had a considerable time to ponder what perhaps the M6 does fire, the most logical conclusion and considering I have questioned this particular thing to several individuals who are more knowledgeable on physics then myself have said that it could be a particle beam weapon.

Also how a Particle Beam Weapon works is as follows: "Though particle beams are perhaps most famously employed as weapon systems in science fiction, the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency started work on particle beam weapons as early as 1958, two years before the first scientific demonstration of lasers. The general idea of particle-beam weaponry is to hit a target object with a stream of accelerated particles moving at near the speed of light and therefore carrying tremendous kinetic energy; the particles transfer their kinetic energy to the atoms in the molecules of the target upon striking, much as a cue ball transfers its energy to the racked balls in billiards, thus exciting the target's atoms and superheating the target object in a short time, leading to explosion either of the surface layer or the interior of the target. Currently, the materials for such weapons are "high-risk" and may not be developed for some time"

That is is exactly how the Galilean works, even the name Galilean relates to the Galilean transformation which partly deals with Particle Physics, which would mean the if you were to take a logical common sense guess as to what it would fire, it would be a Particle Beam. Nothing else has as much effective destructive force as a Particle Beam.

Now another thing you seem to jump the gun on is the fact that it is really not part of the article itself and is in the trivia section which is more open to questioning and such, the way it was worded was to take into account both the previous theory of it being a chemical laser, which mind you was actually part of the article longer then my theory of it being a particle beam was, and mine, it is simply there as a means for discussion or perhaps pondering. It is NOT there to definitively say it is or isn't.

Hey, mistakes happen, I'm glad I was able to help out and make things clearer. Coming back to this with what I know and understand I'd like to clarify something. First Jora(Elite 92, whatever) I wouldn't definitively say Particle Acceleration is just Plasma focused into a beam. From what I understand, Particle Acceleration deals with electrically-charged Elementary particles being propelled to high speeds. Much different then ionizing gas. You can think of Plasma (in how it destroys something) like fire, it does it from the outside and works its way in. Particle Beams, in a destructive way works like (and I'm sorry I cannot think of a better analogy for the moment) filling up a water balloon until it pops. It all happens from the inside out.

::First off this has to be the most uninformed argument I have seen. No one has ever stated that the M6 was "rushed" into production. The technology most likely has been around for the course of the war but it has only very recently been deployed. Also this insult of calling the novels some sort of expanded universe is down right laughable. First of all the novels are not part of expanded anything, nor are they "considered" canon, they are canon. Things may be tweaked, or modified, but everything is still part of the canon.

:As for its late appearance it is the most logical conclusion when you consider that if the M6 has been on the field for such an extensive amount of time, that at some point someone would try to mount a more powerful version on a UNSC warship, that type of firepower would change the course of the war, and give humans the upper hand in space battles against the Covenant. The UNSC would do everything in their power to make it work, the lives it could save, the battles they could win would justify the cost.

::::We already know that laser emitters are mounted on ONI Prowlers; not to mention that ONI keeps many secret programs permanently hidden from the the public eye (Spartan III's would be a very good example of this). ONI could have possibly mounted military grade lasers on warships as a black operations project, kept secret by ONI for assorted reasons. Perhaps like the Spartan III's, they were used for suicide missions against Covenant targets, or were kept secret in order to ambush Covenant fleets (the Unggoy are known for monitoring human transmissions). This could be revealed later by Bungie in a book or game...but really this is all speculation until Bungie says this or something similar is so.

== Ridiculous cost ==
Okay, who in their right mind would produce an anti-vehicular weapon that costs more than 4 freaking warthogs? That is an insane waste of money. Plus, why would it cost so much? It's high-tech, but it's not that high-tech. It's really just a laser-pointer on steroids. Was the cost just a typo by Bungie? ~~A.O.A~~ 15:12, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
Of course it wouldn't be a typo. Here's an example of a waste of money. The U.S. Military spends around $370 million a year on military stuff, and that is ''just'' the U.S. Military alone. That money could be used to ''save'' or improve people's lives rather than end them. It would cost so much because:
#It is a new development - it was only made in 2552 or 2551 - I'm not sure which. Bungie said that it was made around that time.
#''How'' it's made - the battery could be made from something really, REALLY damn expensive, or the process of making a Spartan Laser battery could be epicly expensive too.
Compare point 2 to the plasma TV. When it was first released to the public, which was around the early 2000s, they had a hefty price tag at $20000, and 5 years after that they were down to around $2000. With 'Splasers, they'll get cheaper as they make more. The more the merrier. [[User talk:Bottletopman|Bottletopman]] 10:43, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

"costs more than 4 freaking warthogs" We don't really know how well the UEG's economy is.  If it is doin' well, then it may be worth it.  Also think about it, with one shot it can pierce the armor of an M808B Main Battle Tank.  It could be a really good anti-vehicular weapon.  Especially because it's pretty clear that ammo amounts in the games are balanced for gameplay.

== 2D Spartan Laser Model ==
Hey, I've seen the 2D Spartan Laser model without any modding. I think it's used to display weapons from far range, because when I saw one when I got closer, it changed into a 3D Spartan Laser. I've also seen 2D models for other weapons at far ranges too. It's probably there to save processing resources.
I saw that too. Only it didn't seem 2D, but more like a block. I didn't notice it on other weapons though.

== Shoulder-fired MAC ==
I'm not actually suggesting it IS a MAC, but if you look at the design of the weapon, it looks like it might have originally been one in development. Behind the grip there is what looks like a magazine, and above that, what looks like a bolt, positioned perfectly to be one, and a full track for it to move in (whether it would've been semi or bolt I don't know), and above the bolt there is what look like a series of magnets, and that barrel looks like it could have a bunch of magnets in it too. Also, if you think about it, in the Halo universe, a handheld MAC would've made the perfect power weapon, it's the UNSC super weapon on ships, why not shrink it and give it to infantry? This is what was developed. That and humans using lasers, while obviously plausable, does seem very out of place when the UNSC tech is all standard firearms etc, and Covie stuff is energy based. Obviously it IS a laser in canon and the final build, I'm just saying I think it was designed (by Bungie, not in-universe) as a MAC. [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 07:39, 18 July 2011 (EDT)

:Halo: Ghosts of Onyx describes Prowlers as having pulse lasers, but nowhere near to the same scale as a MAC. They're small-scale, limited range weapons rather than the long-range large-scale weapons the Covenant use. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 22:14, 6 February 2012 (EST)
::If it had stayed a MAC, like I suggested above, we wouldn't have this problem. [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 23:00, 6 February 2012 (EST)
::::There are already are infantry MACs in gameplay. It's called a Gauss Hog. If you mean giving the player something like [[M99 Special Application Scoped Rifle|this]], that would be overpowered and gory, and lasers look way cooler.

:::If there was a ship-sized version of the Spartan Laser, it would be Halo's equivalent of the ''Death Star''.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}}
I think the unsc technology wise without the aid of forunner or Covenant could have produced a ship based spartan laser weapon during the war the problem is weather they did and will mention such a weapon in future books they always adding new ships, weapons to the unsc it would be awsome if they did. I am sure the new unsc ship infinity has a scaled up laser cannon.  But the cost of such a weapon may have been the reason why the unsc never used it in the first place despite its great success against the covenant it would have being.{{Unsigned|Spartan Matt}}
::::Building it would take a long time and if there was one it would consume an immense amount of energy.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}}
== When was the spartan laser created? ==
I get a bit confused about this one some sources say it was recent but if you look at halo wars the spartan laser is on the sparrow hawks.  It was introduced in 2531. {{Unsigned|Spartan Matt}}
Please do make sure you sign your posts and comments (not in articles though)! You actually do bring up a good point. I'll have to do a little research... --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 11:26, 16 April 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330
:The page says it was created alongside [[Project GUNGNIR]], but never a date of it's creation. Since GUNGNIR was developed for Spartans, it's reasonable to assume it was made sometime after 2525.-- '''''[[User:Spartacus|<span style="color: olivedrab; font-family: Bradley Hand ITC; font-size: 12pt;">'''Col.

== Sniper's weapon? ==
The Spartan Laser has been seen with a fair few snipers in the Halo series. Sergeant Johnson, sniper for years and very skilled, as seen in Halo 2, used a Splaser in Halo 3, Fred-104, second best sniper only beaten by Linda-058, used one in The Package and Jerome-092, listed as a sniper in Halo Wars and frequently seen with a Spartan Laser during gameplay.[[User:Fairfieldfencer|<font color="#FF2400">Fair</font><font color="#FFA500">field</font><font color="#FF2400">fencer</font>]] [[User talk:Fairfieldfencer|<font color="FF2400">F</font><font color="#FFA500">F</font><font color="#FF2400">F</font>]] 10:37, 6 October 2012 (EDT)
== Auto-Aim Issue? ==
I've been using the Splaser in Halo 4 and I think the auto-aim has been turning off while I was using it.  The gun goes from keeping on target to physchotically flying to the side, as if pulled by an invisible magnet.  I think there may be an auto-aim glitch of some kind.
==Comparison  of the M6 Spartan Laser==
Shouldn't there be a comparison/changes section about how the M6 Spartan Laser differs in usage in ''Halo 4'', ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach''? I'd do it myself, but I haven't exactly had the chance to actually use the weapon, I was more eager to use the Mantis than the M6 Spartan Laser. And while I'm at it, I've heard it referred to as the M6 Spartan Laser too sometimes. Shouldn't this also be added too? But more importantly is the comparison/changes section addition I mentioned beforehand. Someone should get on that, because I personally would like to know a little more about this weapon in ''Halo 4'' than what my game guide has already told me what I already suspected. --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 13:25, 13 February 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330
:Okay, while I didn't get to use it in the campaign, I did get to use more than once in Spartan Ops second episode ''Artifact'', third mission chapter ''Hacksaw'' against mostly Type-44 Phantom Dropships. Nothing to note aside from what we already know, that it allows for a minimum of four shots just like ''Halo: Reach'', whereas in ''Halo 3'' it allowed for a maximum of five shots. If my math is correct, it uses up roughly 25% power for each individual shot. If it isn't, then could someone please check my math to make sure it is correct. That's all I can surmise of the weapon's operation. As for aesthetic differences, I will try to compile a list of comparisons and contrasts of the weapon, unless someone else beats me to it. --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 13:54, 18 February 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330
