The Spartan Laser is the most expensive small arm known to be produced by the UNSC. It costs 218,000.00 [[Credit|cR]], more than the cost of four fully armed [[M12 Warthog]]s, 134 [[MA5B assault rifle]]s, or over 7,266 [[M9 fragmentation grenade]]s. Although the Spartan Laser was considered to be "ruinously expensive" at the time of its introduction, later refinements led to a reduction in production cost which is now only considered to be "extraordinarily expensive". During the [[Human-Covenant War]], only [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s and Spartans were given ready access to the weapon.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/spartan-laser '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Spartan Laser'']</ref> When employed in combat, the Spartan Laser had a marked effect on both allied and enemy morale.{{Ref/Reuse|Bungie}} | The Spartan Laser is the most expensive small arm known to be produced by the UNSC.
