Description
The Small Chemical Laser is the smallest of Clan Hell's Horses chemical laser systems. 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.
The Small Chemical Laser also has a range and damage profile identical to a standard Inner Sphere Small Laser. On the Epona and other fast moving vehicles in the Horse's Touman, this isn't a huge problem.
Models
As this weapon is produced only by the Clans, there are no Inner Sphere models.
