===Helmet Characteristics===

:'''HU/RS Price:''' 125,000 cR<ref name="Armory"/>
:'''CRBN Price:''' 400,000 cR<ref name="Armory"/>
 
The GUNGNIR helmet is boxy and comes with more facial protection than any other helmet as it fully covers the front of the head and it replaces the usage of a visor with a small camera on the left that displays the outside to the user. The plating on the helmet takes the secondary armor color. It bears a white stripe running down the right side with the Norse symbol for Gungnir in the center.<ref name="Armory"/>
 
Two uprades are availible for the helmet, the first adds a Hardened Uplink/Remote Sensor Package on the left side (HU/RS), and the second adds a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Module with a Hardened Uplink/Remote Sensor Package on the right side (incorrectly not mentioned) (CBRN, should be CBRN/HU/RS). The CBRN attachment does not take on its usual gas mask appearance, instead it is the same as the CBRN that is standard on the EOD helmet.
 
===Shoulder Characteristics===
:'''Left Shoulder Price:''' 8000 cR<ref name="Armory"/>
:'''Right Shoulder Price:''' 8000 cR<ref name="Armory"/>
The Supplemental Armor, Pauldron, MJOLNIR Mk. V [G] is curved and covers most of the shoulder and upper arm. It bears something of a resemblance to the shoulder of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/K variant|Commando armor]], but with sections removed.
 
===Knee Guard Characteristics===
:'''Price:''' 25,000 cR<ref name="Armory"/>
The GUNGNIR knee guards primarily protect the knee cap and also cover some parts surrounding it.

This article is about the program. For the armor variant, see MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V (G).

Project GUNGNIR was a top-secret UNSC program under the supervision of Section Three of the Office of Naval Intelligence.[1] Section Three's then head Rear Admiral Michael Stanforth had some degree of involvement with the project. The program resulted in the creation of the Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle, more commonly known as the Spartan Laser, alongside many supplementary armor systems, including the GUNGNIR knee guards, helmet and pauldrons.[2] Some of these armor components, including the shoulders and knee guards, are utilized by the UNSC Army and the UNSC Marine Corps, and are also part of the MJOLNIR Mk. V[G] variant.[3]

Trivia

  • In Norse mythology, Gungnir ("swaying one") is Odin's magical spear, which is an infallibly accurate weapon. The symbol for Gungnir is located on the side of the Spartan Laser.[4][5] The weapon's abbreviation, W/A M6 G/GNR, bears a notable resemblance to the name "Gungnir." Like the Spartan Laser, the Gungnir of mythology is an extremely accurate weapon.
  • The GUNGNIR symbol can be seen on the side of the Forklift in Halo: Reach.
