M6/V Spartan Laser

The Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6/V Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle (W/AV M6/V G/GNR), colloquially known as the M6/V Spartan Laser, is a variant of the M6 Spartan Laser directed-energy weapon manufactured by Misriah Armory and used by the United Nations Space Command.

Design details
The M6/V Spartan Laser is one of a myriad of variants of the M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle, an initially exorbitantly expensive weapon which underwent several refinements and iterations to reduce its cost.. As with all variants of the Spartan Laser, the M6/V has an integrated and smart-linked Wyrd III optics suite, capable of 3x magnification. The variant was designed with a larger focus on operator safety via a versatile focus canopy.

Usage
The M6/V is typically used in both anti-vehicle and anti-personnel roles, and was heavily employed in the final years of the Human-Covenant War. In late 2552, the M6/V Spartan Laser was extensively used throughout the Fall of Reach, including during the Siege of New Alexandria and the Battle of Asźod. The use of this Spartan Laser model was also used in Battle for Earth, with Corporal Taylor Miles of 103rd Shock Troops Battalion's Alpha-Nine employing one such variant at some point during the Battle of Mombasa after Prophet of Regret's Solemn Penance departure from the city.

Almost seven years after the Human-Covenant War, the Jerome-092's Red Team from crews of the used M6/V Spartan Lasers during the Second Ark Conflict against the Banished.

Gameplay
The M6/V Spartan Laser is featured in Halo: Reach as a usable weapon known as the Spartan Laser. It is a power weapon, which fires a powerful laser that deals an incredible amount of damage, destroying all vehicles with a single well-placed shot. The Spartan Laser is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, and to compensate, it has a limited use of four shots, a short cooldown after a discharge, and inability to pick up ammo.
