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" 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.[2]
The Large Chemical Laser has a range and damage profile identical to an Inner Sphere Large Laser. However, the Large Chemical Laser is so bulky that it cannot be used by ProtoMechs.[1]
Models
As this weapon is produced only by the Clans, there are no Inner Sphere models.
