The M6/R Spartan Laser is one of a myriad of variants of the [[M6 Spartan Laser|M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle]], an initially exorbitantly expensive weapon which underwent several refinements and iterations to reduce its cost.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/spartan-laser|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=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 | The M6/R Spartan Laser is one of a myriad of variants of the [[M6 Spartan Laser|M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle]], an initially exorbitantly expensive weapon which underwent several refinements and iterations to reduce its cost.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/spartan-laser|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - 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 magnification.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} The M6/R is powered by the non-removable [[BA-53635/PLMD]] battery unit, which recharges via the [[PP-16979/AM-Sh]].{{Ref/Reuse|prereleasebnet}} 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 reconnaissance 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}} | ||

* 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 wielding an M6/R with infinite ammo. | ||
