Does the Spartan Laser need a buff?

The halo 5 laser is by far the weakest laser in the halo series, depending on what laser you get it still takes most times 2 to 3 shots to take out a spartan controlled banshee. i find it also funny most times if i use it at at melee range and get a full hit on the enemy spartan, i end up committing suicide yet he still lives. whats your thoughts?

It could use a buff against lighter vehicles. I feel like no one goes for it anymore on the maps it shows up on (Deadlock and Recurve if I remember right) because its more or less useless unless someones in a vehicle, and even THEN its often useless.
It needs to go back, at least, to Halo Reach’s version; you hit anything other than a tank head-on with it and its going to die.
