The '''Medium Pulse Laser''' fires short bursts of energy, unlike the standard [[Medium Laser]]. Due to the rapid cycling of the weapon, though, it is not able to reach the full range of the standard versions, although such rapid cycling allows a high rate of fire and overall will generally cause additional damage. However, since the destructive power of both the standard/ER variants and the pulse variant are generally equal in terms of beam intensity, the rapid firing cycles will also result in an increased heat buildup rate.

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.

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.
