canon wise we wouldn't know because it has never been in a book or anything.
Same for the Gauss weaponry.Johnson used an M99 Stanchion Gauss rifle in Contact Harvest. It penetrated several layers of concrete and gibbed a soft target.
Anyways, I would assume the Spartan Laser is as effective canonically as it is in-game. That is, pretty much anything caught in its beam dies.To expand, the M99 in Harvest went through both walls and about 7 floors of an office building, flew half a click to a diner, gibbed a guy to a horrifying extent, and buried itself several yards under the asphalt.
The Gauss cannon on the M12G also appeared in a book, in the short story Palace Hotel from Evolutions. There it's described as completely vaporizing most targets, and causing a Ghost to disintegrate into plasma and shrapnel in one hit.
As for the Splaser, it doesn't say, but it's a one-bolt, enormously powerful beam. I'd say it would immediately destroy most non-superhardened targets, e.g. Scorpions or Wraiths.
