== Description ==
X-Pulse lasers are an attempt by Inner Sphere technicians to increase the range of pulse lasers to compete with the longer ranges of similar Clan models. X-Pulse lasers are not a new weapon ''per se'', but an upgrade that is separately added to the weapon for an additional cost. X-Pulse lasers also build up tremendous heat but technicians have considered this as a necessary drawback. This weapon is currently still in its prototype stages.<ref name="TOp321">''Tactical Operations'', p. 321: "X-Pulse Laser"</ref>

The '''small X-Pulse laser''' is the smallest of these weapons. It has good damage potential for its heat and boasts almost as much range as an Inner Sphere [[medium pulse laser]] or a Clan [[small pulse laser]]. Like all pulse lasers, the higher rate of fire allows for increased accuracy.
