*The Spartan Laser seems to trail off forever when fired into the sky, very much like the [[Sentinel Beam]]. The beam of both weapons does end, however, usually at the invisible walls of the playing area. The Laser beam on [[Sandtrap]] covers over 75% of the width of the area (fired at a 45 degree angle). | *The Spartan Laser seems to trail off forever when fired into the sky, very much like the [[Sentinel Beam]].

*When you pick up a Spartan Laser that has a battery percentage that does not divide by 20 evenly you will be able to fire a 20% powered laser and another shot after that with the remaining charge. For example, if you have 45% power left in your Spartan Laser, you can fire up to 3 shots, including the 5% amount of power. The damage is still equal to the 20%. | *When you pick up a Spartan Laser that has a battery percentage that does not divide by 20 evenly you will be able to fire a 20% powered laser and another shot after that with the remaining charge.

*Contrary to popular belief, the Spartan Laser actually zooms in to 3x magnification. Consider the following: the [[Battle Rifle]] has 2x zoom and a Sniper Rifle's minimum zoom is 5x. The [[MJOLNIR]]/[[Elite]] armor’s built-in zoom system zooms in more than a BR, but less than an SR, so it must be either 3x or 4x (assuming that all magnification factors are whole numbers). The laser zooms in more than a BR, but less than the visor, so it has to be between 2x and 4x (the highest possible value for the unknown zoom factor of the visor); in other words, the laser's magnification is actually 3x, though it is more correct to say that it is at least more than the 2x zoom of the [[Battle Rifle]]. | *Contrary to popular belief, the Spartan Laser actually zooms in to 3x magnification.

*The Laser was de-powered somewhat in the ''Halo: Reach'' Beta. The weapon's capacity has been reduced from 5 to 4 shots (each blast consuming 25% of the battery) and it is less powerful against vehicles, taking two shots to down a Banshee in some cases. | |||
