The M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Cannon has similar firing and recharge rates to the man-portable [[M6 Spartan Laser]], though it has a higher damage potential and a faster charge up. Unlike the standard Spartan Laser, however, the W/AV M6 G/GNC fires a bluish-white beam, which may suggest higher intensity.{{Ref/Reuse|hw}} The cannon allows gunners to conduct devastatingly effective long-range strikes with pinpoint accuracy.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the components of the M6 G/GNC were miniaturized and installed on infantry-portable [[M6/E Spartan Laser|M6/E variants]].{{Ref/Site|Id=lockeandloaded|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-locke-load|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Locke & Load|D=13|M=4|Y=2016}}

==Production notes==
In the ''[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]'', the M6 G/GNC is discrepantly listed as the "H6 Spartan Hawk Laser".{{Ref/Book|Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide|Page=45}} In the [[personnel profile]]s included in ''Halo Wars''{{'}} [[Halo Wars Limited Edition|limited edition]] and [[Steam reward/Halo Wars: Definitive Edition|Steam rewards]], it is referred to simply as an "M6 Spartan Laser".{{Ref/Game|Id=Card|HW|Personnel profile|Detail=Ellen Anders}}
