The M6/R Spartan Laser is | The M6/R Spartan Laser is a variant of the standard M6 Spartan Laser. As with all variants of the Spartan Laser, the M6/R has an integrated and [[Smart-linking|smart-linked]] [[Wyrd optics suite|Wyrd III optics suite]], capable of 3x agnification. Unlike other variants of the Spartan Lasers, however, an M6/R with a full battery unit can discharge five instead of four shots. Utilized for recon deployments and scouting maneuvers, the M6/R was built to preemptively target and eliminate critical enemy assets before their forces reached full strength.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} As such, it is used in both anti-vehicle and antipersonnel roles.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} | ||

It is a [[power weapon]], which fires a powerful laser that deals an incredible amount of damage, destroying all vehicles with a single shot. The Spartan Laser is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, and to compensate, it has a limited use, a short cooldown after a discharge, and inability to pick up ammo. | ||

* In the [[Halo 3 Beta|''Halo 3'' Beta]], if the reticule was moved while firing, a scattering of beams would be released, spreading over the targeted area. For the few frames while the laser is fired, the right targeting stick is disabled. The beam can be strafed, however, over a larger area if the player is moving while the laser is firing. | |||

If the player kills Johnson prior to entering the control room, he drops an M6/R Spartan Laser with abysmally low ammo. If Johnson's body is removed from the play area, like being pushed off the map boundaries, he will respawn with an M6/R with infinite ammo. | ||
