Introduced in [[2609]] by the [[Terran Hegemony]]. '''Pulse lasers''' differ from traditional laser weaponry in that instead of firing one powerful beam, they maintain laser beams fired off in quick succession. While offering an overall increased rate of fire, the heat output also increases accordingly. Pulse lasers increase damage because they allow vaporized armor to dissipate from the location of damage. This allows subsequent pulses to reach the target area without being diffused by the vapor.<ref name="TMp226">''TechManual'', p. 226: "Laser - Pulse Lasers"</ref>

'''Medium Pulse Lasers''' are a mix of range and damage, making them useful in most situations. The heat buildup is moderate and the weapon causes good damage, although the Medium Pulse Laser still cannot be constantly discharged for extended periods of time.<ref name="TMp226"/>
