The '''Small Laser''' is a [[w:Free-electron laser|free-electron laser]] which focuses a beam of light on targets to cause damage.<ref name="ER:2750p99">''Era Report: 2750'', p. 99: "Laser Systems"</ref> The compact size of the Small Laser allows it to be equipped and used efficiently on practically anything; however the reduced firepower means that Small Lasers are not usually used on heavier combat devices such as 'Mechs or tanks. [[Small Laser (Battle Armor)|Small lasers]] can also be mounted on [[battle armor]] or used as an infantry support weapon by conventional infantry, where it is referred to as a "[[Support Laser]]."<ref name="TMp226+">''TechManual'', pp. 226–227: "Laser - Standard Laser"</ref><ref name="TMp291"/>
