Description

"Laser" stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." The Small Laser focuses a beam of light on targets to cause damage. 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. When equipped on infantry or powered armor, it is referred to as a "Support Laser".
