On the side of the M41 the labeling on the launcher and the rectangular cases that contain rocket ammunition has the words SPNKr. The M41 SSR is essentially a Halo Universe copy of the SPNKR-X17/18 SSM Launcher (Lazyboy) from the [[Marathon (Video Game Series)|Marathon]]. The the word "SPNKr" is a short abbreviation of the word ''Spanker'' and the line serves as an inside joke for both fans and [[Bungie]] of their former series. | On the side of the M41 the labeling on the launcher and the rectangular cases that contain rocket ammunition has the words SPNKr.
