==Description==
The '''Large Chemical Laser''' is the [[Large Laser]] equivalent in the Chemical Laser family. Intended for use on combat vehicles that have an [[ICE]] or [[Fuel Cell]] engine, the chemical laser uses a "shell" {{cn}}  of lasing chemicals to create the energy it needs to fire a laser beam at a target. The drawback to this system is that unlike every other laser system that exists, it can actually run out of ammunition. The key advantage to the system is that it will operate on vehicles that lack a fusion engine and it doesn't require power amplifiers.<ref name="TOp320">''Tactical Operations'', p. 320, "Chemical Lasers"</ref>

The Large Chemical Laser has a range and damage profile identical to an Inner Sphere Large Laser. 

In older editions, the Large Chemical Laser was so bulky that it could not be used by [[ProtoMechs]], but this has since changed and may now be used on other conventional combat units.<ref name="TOp219">''Tactical Operations:AU&E'', p. 219, "Inner Sphere Weapons And Equipment Construction Data"</ref>

== Models ==
As this weapon is produced only by the Clans, there are no Inner Sphere models.
