* The weapon's color palette was changed ~~since~~ the beta, going from a more subdued green color to a more vivid green with yellow accents, possibly to increase visual recognition and alert players to its presence.

*The M57 bears broad similarities to the [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved weapons#Anti-air rocket launcher|anti-air rocket launcher]] cut from the original ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and the [[Cut Halo 3 weapons#G4H-DuSH|G4H-DuSH]] cut from ''Halo 3''.

* The weapon's color palette was changed between the [[Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta|multiplayer beta]] and final release, going from a more subdued green color to a more vivid green with yellow accents, possibly to increase visual recognition and alert players to its presence.

* The Pilum is named after the [[wikipedia:Pilum|thrown javelin]] of the ancient Roman army, innovative at its time for its construction: the metal tip was hardened while softer lead connected it to the wooden shaft, which meant it was likely to bend upon impact. If the weapon missed, it would thus be rendered unusable. If it penetrated a shield, this would become weighted down and unwieldy, forcing its user to discard it. If the weapon bent after piercing an enemy combatant, it would be difficult to remove and possibly amplify the wound.
