==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Medium Re-Engineered Laser''' is an advanced-grade energy weapon first developed by the [[Federated Suns]] in the [[thirty-second century|mid thirty-second century]]. The weapon along with its other brethren were originally developed in an attempt to create a hybrid of the [[Clans]]' [[Heavy Laser]] and [[Pulse Laser]]. However, the resulting hybrid resulted in a weapon that neither was able to inflict heavy damage nor accuracy noticeable to a pilot.

The '''Medium Re-Engineered Laser''' is a advanced grade energy weapon first developed by the [[Federated Suns]] in the [[31st Century|mid-31st Century]]. The weapon along with its other brethen were originally developed in attempt to create hybrid of the [[Clans]]' [[Heavy Laser]] and [[Pulse Laser]]. However, resulting hybrid resulted in weapon that neither was able inflict heavy damage nor accruacy noticable to a pilot.  
  
However, the unexpected results of this experiment was an energy weapon able to defeat reinforced and advanced armor types first fielded during the [[Jihad]] and the later [[Dark Age]].  The weapon when facing other armor types is only able to inflict slightly more damage than a standard model laser, in this case the Medium Laser. Also, the Medium RE Laser also has the same ranges and the standard Medium Laser as well.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', pp. 244, 256–257: Re-Engineered Lasers - Basic weapon description and background info</ref>
