*The Spartan Laser is currently the most expensive weapon to produce known. It costs 218,000.00 [[CR|cR]], more than the cost of four fully armed [[Warthog]]s, 134 [[MA5B]] Assault Rifles, or over 7,266 [[M9 Fragmentation Grenades]].

*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 personnel.

*Some gamers like to call it the splazer most after seeing 'have a splazer holiday' on halo waypoint
*The side of the weapon has the Norse symbol for "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gungnir Gungnir]" etched into it, which was the mythical spear wielded by the god Odin in Norse Mythology. Gungnir was described as having the ability to always hit its mark. Part of the mythology is that Odin would hurl his spear over the doomed side of a battle. This also adds to the theory of how the Spartan Laser was named because the Spartan armor is called, MJOLNIR, Thor's hammer. This is also supported by the fact that on the ONI Memorial wall there is a plaque mentioning PROJECT: GUNGNIR next to PROJECT: MJOLNIR as well as PROJECT: [[SPARTAN]] another reason that the Laser could be nicknamed the Spartan Laser.

*The Spartan Laser seems to trail off forever when fired into the sky, very 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).
