Unlike the standard Spartan Laser, however, the version mounted on the AV-22 fires a bluish-white beam, which may suggest higher intensity; this is likely, as the Sparrowhawk can certainly carry a more powerful battery than the BA-53635/PLMD used by the standard version. Some of the components that were on the Sparrowhawk' Spartan Laser were later miniaturized and installed on infantry-portable M6/E variants after the Covenant War.<ref name="localunits">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-local-units '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Cannon Fodder: Local Units'']</ref>
