When fired, the Spartan Laser emits a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_laser solid-state laser] beam capable of eliminating all manner of targets in a very large range. When used against infantry such as [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s, the lasers is capable of efficiently burning through the armour and leaving a clean hole through the target and also severely damage anything behind the initial target. The laser has also proven effective in anti-vehicle and anti-air roles, with the shot even managing to pierce all the way through the thick armour of a [[Type-52 Phantom]].{{Ref/Reuse|Bungie}} The intense energy of the beam imparts splash damage up to a range of approximately two meters from the impact point. A careless operator that discharges the laser while too close to any obstacle will instantly be killed. The beam can also penetrate multiple obstacles and/or targets, provided they are aligned along a linear trajectory.

The beam emitted by the M6 Spartan Laser weapons is typically a bright red, while the variant equipped on the [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]] fires a bluish-white beam.
