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> | 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 laser designator was first seen in use in the [[Battle of Sector Six]] during the [[Battle of 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 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 name="landfall"/><ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[ | The laser designator was first seen in use in the [[Battle of Sector Six]] during the [[Battle of Earth]], by an injured [[UNSC Marine]] [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]], [[S.
