Spartan Laser

Description

The Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle, also known as the Spartan Laser, is the UNSC's ground-based, man-portable, anti-vehicle, directed energy weapon. It is the most powerful infantry weapon fielded by UNSC forces, even more than the Rocket Launcher. It is capable of penetrating multiple targets, including tanks, unlike the Sniper Rifle, which can only penetrate infantry. The name originates from the fact that it was designed in parallel with the Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor. When the trigger is pulled, a red targeting laser is painted on-target, accompanied by an audible whine as the weapon cycles up. The Spartan Laser will then charge for approximately two to three seconds before discharging the main laser. As the Spartan Laser charges, the charging tone gets noticeably louder and increases in pitch until the laser is fired. The laser is capable of penetrating several targets and has a small blast radius, injuring within two meters of the point of impact.
