Trivia

 * Gungnir ("swaying one"), in Norse Mythology, refers to Odin's magical spear, which is a deadly accurate weapon.
 * It is possible that Gungnir was the codename for the development of the Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle, considering the weapon's abbreviation: W/A M6 G/GNR. This is also backed up by the fact Gungnir of mythology was an extremely accurate weapon, as is the Spartan Laser. It is also supported by the fact that the symbol for Gungnir is located on the side of the Spartan Laser
