*The side of the weapon has the Norse symbol for "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gungnir Gungnir]" etched into it, which was the mythical spear wielded by the god Odin in Norse Mythology. Gungnir was described as having the ability to always hit its mark. Part of the mythology is that Odin would hurl his spear over the doomed side of a battle. This also adds to the theory of how the Spartan Laser was named because the Spartan armor is called MJOLNIR, Thor's hammer. It is likely that [[Project GUNGNIR]] mentioned in the [[ONI Memorial]] in the [[ONI Alpha Site]] is, in fact, the name of the development project for the G/GNR. | *The side of the weapon has the Norse symbol for "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gungnir Gungnir]" etched into it, which was the mythical spear wielded by the god Odin in Norse Mythology.

*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]].

*The Spartan Laser returns with very little aesthetic changes with a slightly altered form factor, darker color scheme, and a thermal display attached to the side. The weapon depletes a quarter of the battery's charge per shot, meaning it only has four shots, down from five in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. | *The Spartan Laser returns with very little aesthetic changes with a slightly altered form factor, darker color scheme, and a thermal display attached to the side.
