 ==Trivia==
-*The term ''"Galilean"'' in the name does not refer to [[Wikipedia:Galileo|Galileo]], but to [[Wikipedia:Galilee|Galilee]], a town in what is now Isreal where Jesus is supposed to have lived for thirty years of his life.
+*The term ''"Galilean"'' in the name does not refer to [[Wikipedia:Galileo|Galileo]], but to [[Wikipedia:Galilee|Galilee]], a town in what is now Israel where Jesus is supposed to have lived for thirty years of his life.
 *When a Flood Combat Form wields the Spartan Laser, it cannot shoot you. It is unknown as to why Flood have no intelligence of using the Spartan Laser.
-*The Spartan Laser consists of a laser blast followed up by four more explosive blasts. Each blast damages 77% of the personal energy shield of a Spartan or Sangheili.
 *On the level Halo, if you pick up Johnson's Spartan Laser, it can have 55, 70, or 85 battery, which is usually impossible to obtain, because each shot takes 20 battery.
 *The Spartan Laser is the most expensive weapon to produce currently known. It costs 218,000.00 [[cR]], more than the cost of four fully armed [[Warthog]]s, 134 MA5B Assault Rifles, or over 7,000 [[M9 Fragmentation Grenades]].
 *The only vehicle the Spartan Laser can't destroy  is the [[Elephant]] which only appears in the multi-player map [[Sandtrap]]. The laser beam, however, will penetrate the armored walls of the vehicle and will damage anything in its way (except for walls or terrain.)
 *On the side of the gun there is a sign which reads "DANGER: Bare live wires".
+*The reticle of the Spartan Laser has been changed from the one in the Halo 3 Beta.
-*The reticle of the Spartan Laser has been changed from the one in the beta.
-*The Spartan Laser is an almost exclusive anti-vehicle gun, unless you have serious railgun skills.
 *In the level [[Halo (Level)|Halo]] of Halo 3, it is possible to use the unlimited Spartan Laser Johnson gives you for the rest of the level. To do this, you must be playing co-op. After [[343 Guilty Spark]] opens the door to the control room, kill Johnson with a rocket/grenade, the flamethrower also works very well if you kept it from earlier. When he dies, quickly keep swapping weapons (Johnson's Laser with your weapon). When you get it far enough, use the Laser and it will have unlimited ammo (do this for both players). Then, just before you fight [[343 Guilty Spark]], kill each other, leaving your Lasers there. Then fight [[343 Guilty Spark]], and after you do, the Laser will still be there for you to use in the Warthog or Mongoose with unlimited ammo.
 *You can get unlimited ammo if you give the Spartan laser to a Marine.  Marines doing this can come in handy especially when you are flying the Hornet and you have 2 soldiers on the stands.
 *The Spartan Laser is the only known infantry weapon that can crack the casing of a Monitor. It is the most powerful weapon available.
 *The ability of the Spartan Laser to destroy most vehicles may hint that it fires a directed energy chemical laser, an extremely powerful laser that uses chemical reactions to produce a controlled beam.
 *Hitting the Scorpion's turret tip will not destroy it but will damage it very heavily. Hitting the Warthog's turret tip still destroys it.
 *If you manage to kill a player at the exact time they discharge the spartan laser, the laser will still shoot but it will spin around as if it has lost control.
 *The Spartan Laser penetrates more or less vehicles depending on the type. Up to ten [[Warthogs]] can be destroyed by the laser. It will also only kill ten Spartan or Elite soldiers for each given discharge of the laser. No other weapon comes close.
+*If you play the Campaign Mission [[The Covenant (Level)| 'The Covenant']] on any difficulty on Co-Op, a second Spartan Laser can be found near the wreckage of the downed Pelican.
-*If you play the Campaign Mission [[The Covenant (Level)| 'The Covenant']] on any difficulty, a second Spartan Laser can be found near the wreckage of the downed Pelican.
 *It is unclear how the W/AV M6 G/GNR was given the battlefield moniker ''Spartan'' Laser; it is possible that the first wielder of the weapon was a [[SPARTAN-II]] super-soldier.
 *The side of the laser has the Norse symbol for "Gungnir" etched into it, which was the mythical spear wielded by the god Odin in Norse Mythology.
 *The laser seems to trail off forever when fired into the sky, much like the [[Sentinel Beam]]. However, the beam of both weapons does end, usually at the invisible walls of the playing area. The laser beam on Sandtrap covers over 75% of the width of area (fired at a 45 degree angle).
 *When fired at the ground, there will be more than one impact spot, which indicates that there are four separate beams.
 *When firing at an extremely close range to a wall, the Spartan Laser projectile will kill you much like a Rocket Launcher.
 *The writing near the back of the Spartan laser on the right hand side of it reads 06 GALILEIAN, but on the other side this is backwards. This is probably because Bungie designed only one half of the Spartan lasers skin and mirrored it for the other half.
 *If a Marine is given a Spartan Laser, when you retrieve it from them it's power supply will have recharged itself. The amount of added charge varies depending on the amount of time they were holding it.
+*A hit with the laser is not always a guaranteed kill. If the laser does not strike the player directly, the player will survive probably with no shields. This effect varies as some players have reported surviving up to two shots from the laser.
-*A hit with the laser is not always a guaranteed kill. If the laser does not strike the player directly, the player will survive with lowered shields. This effect varies as some players have reported surviving up to two shots from the laser.
 *If you find the unknown skull on Cortana and carry it through the rest of the level, you will start with a Spartan Laser in the next level.
 *It is the only weapon to need one shot to kill another opponent with a fully charged Overshield, other than the Rocket Launcher, however the laser is still much more powerful. This makes this weapon a popular choice for removing VIPs in the [[VIP]] gametype. The Sniper Rifle, Beam Rifle, and Fuel Rod Cannon do not have this lethality or power.
 *When wielding the Spartan Laser, if you look towards the barrel, there are two stickers/labels. One is a yellow triangle with unreadable text and the other is an unknown symbol. For reasons unknown, you cannot see these when it is on the ground or in Theater, only when you are holding it.
 *When the M6 is given to a Marine ally, they sometimes initiate the reload animation for the [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]].
+*With the IWHBYD skull and on Legendary, [[Grunt|Grunts]] will sometimes wield it and they sometimes say "My Arm Go Bye-Bye"!
-*With the IWHBYD skull and on legendary mode, [[Grunt|Grunts]] will sometimes wield it and they sometimes say "My Arm Go Bye-Bye"!
 *There is a glitch when you are just about to fire the laser but go into forge mode while still holding the fire button, and when you go back to human it fires.
+*If you give a [[Marine]] in the passenger seat of a [[Warthog]] a Spartan Laser, sometimes when the Marine fires the weapon, the angle of the laser is different to that which the Marine is firing. This can be done on the Halo 3 Campaign level The Covenant.
-*If you give a [[Marine]] in the passenger seat of a [[Warthog]] a Spartan Laser, some times when the Marine fires the weapons, the angle of the laser is different to that which the Marine is firing. This can be done on the Halo 3 Campaign level The Covenant.
+*Some have speculated that the [[Spartan Laser]] was based on the [[Sentinel Beam]]. This is plausible as humans are alleged to have discovered Forerunner structures before meeting the Covenant.
