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 Project GUNGNIR is also a version of the Norse Gungnir symbol. The symbol is located on the side of the Spartan Laser, among other places.[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.
