*On the Campaign mission ''The Covenant'', if played on [[Easy]] or [[Normal]], there will be a second Spartan Laser near the downed [[Pelican]]. On [[Heroic]] or [[Legendary]], the Spartan Laser is absent from the spawn point. | *On the Campaign mission ''The Covenant'', if played on [[Easy]] or [[Normal]], there will be a second Spartan Laser near the downed [[Pelican]].

*It is unclear how the W/AV M6 G/GNR was given the battlefield moniker ''Spartan'' Laser. It is possible that the first wielder of the weapon was a [[SPARTAN-II]] super-soldier. Another possible reason for the nomenclature is that Spartans are symbols of invincible death machines capable of destroying vast numbers of enemy equipment and personal, as evidence by the destruction of three installations and the Covenant home world at the hands of a [[Spartan]]. | *It is unclear how the W/AV M6 G/GNR was given the battlefield moniker ''Spartan'' Laser.

*The Spartan Laser seems to trail off forever when fired into the sky, much like the [[Sentinel Beam]]. The beam of both weapons does end, however, usually at the invisible walls of the playing area. The laser beam on [[Sandtrap]] covers over 75% of the width of the area (fired at a 45 degree angle). | *The Spartan Laser seems to trail off forever when fired into the sky, much like the [[Sentinel Beam]].

*The writing near the back of the Spartan Laser on the right hand side of it reads 06 Galilean, but on the other side, this is backwards. This is probably because Bungie designed only one half of the Spartan Laser's skin and mirrored it for the other half. | *The writing near the back of the Spartan Laser on the right hand side of it reads 06 Galilean, but on the other side, this is backwards.
