Talk:M6 Spartan Laser: Difference between revisions

:In my opinion in appears to be just a folder hierarchy that starts at '''Weapons''' then breaks down to '''Anti-Vehicle Weapons''' and then the actual weapon "folder", the '''Galileian Nonlinear Rifle (W/AV M6 G/GNR)'''. What other reason would there be for having "Weapon" in the title? -- [[User:Esemono|Esemono]] 04:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Did they call it the ''Spartan Laser'' in honor of the Master Chief and the other spartans or is it because only spartans are qualified(able) to use them?--[[User:0nyx Sp1k3r|0nyx Sp1k3r]] 21:49, 12 June 2007 (UTC)BLARG!!!

Why not but lets wait for the approval of the admins.

Well the names are exactly the same, the only difference are a pair of /, probs just for ease of printing and to stop confusing newbies :P. --[[User:Ajax 013|Ajax 013]] 14:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm curious, where do you figure the Galilean in the name refers to the town? Usually, when Bungie makes references, it tends to make some sense. So a town... [[User:XRoadToDawnX|XRoadToDawnX]] 02:20, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

== 'Nonlinear rifle' ==

It's called that because Bungie didn't read the primer on how give military weapons realistic nomenclature, correct operation, or true-to-form function. This weapon would realistically be called a linear anti-armor directed energy weapon, much like the RAVEN device is an explosive-disruptive DEW. Non-linear calls to mind one of several sonic-based crowd-suppression DEWs currently under trials and development. [[User talk:Griever0311|Griever0311]] 05:43, 2 April 2009 (UTC) US MARINE

::Actually a line in geometry goes on forever. A line ''segment'' has a beginning and end. Also, a laser beam has both, the beginning is where the laser beam emerges from the laser and the end is wherever it hits something. If it is fired up into space eventually it will stop, at least from hitting interstellar gas and dust. Finally, a line is 1 dimensional, it only has length. A laser beam has length, width and height.[[Special:Contributions/81.108.237.26|81.108.237.26]] 14:41, 3 April 2011 (EDT)

:The [[Template:Title]] would remind visitors and users that the title appears incorrectly because of [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Page_name technical restrictions], thus solving this minor problems. In my opinion, having <code><[[Weapon]]</code> is not a significant problem to the article itself; it doesn't ruin the article's quality or readability and users/visitors could always click on it to review other weapons.-<b>[[User:Subtank|<font color="gold"><font color="#FF4F00">5</font>ub<font color="#FF4F00">7</font>ank</font>]]^{([[User talk:Subtank|<font color="#FF4F00">7alk</font>]])}</b> 19:13, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

== Particle beam Weapon ==

Good thing I happen to come across it, first of all you don't you seem to understand that there are different TYPES of lasers. Now we do not know what exact energy it fires which is why it is '''noted as such'''.

I hope this has been enlightening to you, and I hope you will take more careful consideration before blowing up and removing something you may not understand. [[User talk:Durandal-217|Durandal-217]] 04:53, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

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.

:Because they have not means that the technology simply wasn't there yet, and by the time it is, we are already near the end of the war. [[User talk:Durandal-217|Durandal-217]] 07:59, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

::::Sorry for irking you, Durandal; I was only attempting to respond in a thoughtful way to Andrew Nagy's above request for a link. He was attempting to find an original Bungie flavor text that specifically mentioned the Spartan Laser as being rushed into production (his words) or at least placed on the assembly line at the very end of the Great War. I simply explained why he might not be able to find such a link. By saying that the books are considered canon by Bungie (the ultimate authority on all things Halo), I simply meant that it was canon; at the end of the day, what Bungie says goes. I meant what I said in a positive context,and I apologize for not wording more carefully and accidentally leaving paths open for misinterpretation. I have also deleted the misplaced title and put our conversation under the proper heading.

Why is every "laser" word in this article in all caps? Is it supposed to be like that or did someone mess with the article? [[User talk:General Heed|General Heed]] 19:53, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

== Not Laser? ==

I don't see a source for how much it costs. Do you know I could find this out?[[User talk:Weeping Angel|Weeping Angel]] 22:17, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

"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.

My question is has any of the books or anybody hinted at there being a ship version of the spartan laser similar to a mac gun.{{Unsigned|Spartan Matt}}
