Trivia
- One UNSC Marine stated: "How the foxtrot does it track anything? Whatever—I guess that’s why I carry an em eh five instead of a TACPAD." in reference to a Covenant Plasma Pistol's tracking feature. This comment indicates that TACPADs are typically carried by commissioned and non-commissioned officers, as well as intelligence personnel in charge of tactical planning.
