-The '''Laser Designator''' is a [[United Nations Space Command]] piece of equipment.<ref>[http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/last-one-standing/halo-sweeps/halo-sweeps.html] Halo: Last One Standing</ref> The designator uses the same butt-stock, pistol grip and main section as the [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel|SRS-99D S2 AM Sniper Rifle]], with the only difference being the absence of an ammunition magazine and barrel, and the replacement of these with a laser designator and different optical scope.<ref>[http://wetaworkshop.com/projects/filmography/galleries/halo3 WETA Workshop gallery]</ref>
-It was first seen in use during the short video, ''[[Halo: Last One Standing]]'', by an injured [[UNSC Marine]] [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]], [[S. Hartley]], during the [[Battle of Sector Six]]. Though injured, he used it to acquire the trajectory information of the [[John-117]]'s descent through [[Earth]]'s atmosphere, pinpointing his eventual crash site.
+==Background==
+[[File:UNSC_Laser_Pointer.PNG|thumb|S. Hartley utilizing the laser designator on the Master Chief.]]
+The designator uses the same butt-stock, pistol grip and main section as the [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel|SRS-99D S2 AM Sniper Rifle]], with the only difference being the absence of an ammunition magazine and barrel, and the replacement of these with a laser designator and different optical scope. The UNSC laser designator also has a [[Misriah]] logo on its stock, a feature retained from its SRS99D-S2 AM roots.<ref>[http://wetaworkshop.com/projects/filmography/galleries/halo3 '''WETA Workshop''' - ''Gallery'']</ref>
-==Halo: Reach==
+The laser designator was first seen in use in the [[Battle of Sector Six]] during the [[Battle for Earth]], by an injured [[UNSC Marine]] [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]], [[S. Hartley]]. After retrieving the package containing the designator from a combat zone with [[T. Rymann]], the ODSTs proceeded to a position in [[Sector Six]] in order to acquire the trajectory information of [[John-117]]'s descent through [[Earth]]'s atmosphere. Though injured, Hartley succeeded in the task and the UNSC ground forces got to Spartan-117's crash site in time.{{Ref/Reuse|landfall}}<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[Sierra 117]]''</ref>

-In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', it is revealed that there is a new weapon by the same name. When the trigger is held down for several seconds, a blue circle appears on the ground and large blasts, possible small MAC rounds, fall from the sky, doing a large amount of area damage.<ref>[http://www.justin.tv/spack_e32010/b/265331053]</ref>
 ==Trivia==
-[[Image:UNSC_Laser_Pointer.PNG|thumb|right|300px|S. Hartley utilizing the Laser Designator on the Master Chief.]]
+Visible on the side of the laser designator is the [[Wikipedia:CE mark|CE mark]], which denotes compliance with European Union safety regulations. The "CE" is an abbreviation of a French term meaning "European Conformity". This may imply that the laser produced by the laser designator is not dangerous to any living human on its own.
-*The UNSC Laser Designator has a [[Misriah]] logo on its stock, a feature retained from its SRS99D-S2 AM roots.
-*The Laser Designator could most likely be used by a forward observer to mark out long range targets for air strikes or [[SP42 Cobra|artillery]] bombardments.
