==Description==
X-Pulse Lasers were an attempt by [[Inner Sphere]] technicians to increase the range of [[pulse laser]]s to compete with the longer ranges of similar [[Clan]] models. X-Pulse lasers are not an entirely new weapon per se, but rather an upgrade that is separately added to the weapon for an additional cost. X-Pulse lasers also build up tremendous amounts of heat, but this has been considered by technicians as a necessary drawback. This weapon is currently still in its prototype stages.<ref name="MTRp82">''Maximum Tech, Revised'', p. 82: "X-Pulse Laser"</ref><ref name="TOp321">''Tactical Operations'', p. 321: "X-Pulse Laser"</ref>

Like their standard [[Medium Pulse Laser|pulse counterparts]], '''Medium X-Pulse Lasers''' are the workhorse of the X-Pulse lasers series, and though they build large amounts of extra heat, they boast the same range as a standard [[medium laser]]. They also offer the improved targeting of the standard pulse laser.<ref name="TOp321"/>
