The beam emitted by the M6 and (by extension) M8C Spartan Laser weapons is typically a bright red, while the variant equipped on the [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]] fires a bluish-white beam. | The beam emitted by the M6 and (by extension) M8C Spartan Laser weapons is typically a bright red, while the variant equipped on the [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]] fires a bluish-white beam. | ||
The casing for the weapon can hold a [[BA-53635/PLMD]] non-replaceable battery, which is recharged with a [[PP-16979/AM-Sh]] charger. UNSC logistics, however, are not sufficient for the charger to accompany many M6 G/GNR units in the field.<ref name="Bungie"/> The M6 has gone through several iterations, but its changes have been mostly cosmetic. Internal components have changed over time, incorporating incremental advances that have lowered production costs, and increased efficiency, but the significant advances in crystal doping and optoelectronic focusing remain largely opaque to end users. By [[2557]], Spartan Lasers used [[Series 6971 battery cell]]s to replace the older BA-53635/PLMDs.<ref name="H4VG"/> | The casing for the weapon can hold a [[BA-53635/PLMD]] non-replaceable battery, which is recharged with a [[PP-16979/AM-Sh]] charger.
