Really that should be true for all the weapons, the close you get the easier it should be to hit a target...damage may not increase but the accuracy should.

Pulse lasers that adjust their to-hit bonus from -1 to -3, and lower damage as the bonus improves. When you select the -3 to-hit bonus, you do a minimum of damage - you're spraying and praying to hit with a few laser bolts. At -1 to-hit bonus, you're gambling on a much tighter burst to do more damage at the expense of accuracy.

Are there different rules from those stated in SB:W&B? According to those rules the modifier and damage change with range brackets, you can't "select" the settings.

This sounds like the lasers Warner was working on not to long back...really not sure if these are worth using given how confusing things can get with ability to change rates etc...
I know a couple of players who tossed out the idea that the HGR does reduced damage via the range changes, their arguement as to why they tossed it was that player tend to forget what the damage is, or are think hey it does this large amount, then when they are told no sorry it only does this much right now, they get upset. While part of that would go away with knowing the rules etc...they just feel that it is better to keep things simple.

Oops, my bad. No, you don't select the pulse rating.
TacOps pg321:
Game Rules: In game play, Variable Pulse Lasers function as pulse lasers (and are compatible with targeting computers in the same fashion) in every
way, except that the to-hit modifier and damage value changes depending upon the range bracket. At short range, VSP Lasers receive a –3 to-hit
modifier and their maximum damage value, while at medium range, they receive a –2 to-hit modifier and reduced damage. At long range, a VSP Laser
has a –1 to-hit modifier and delivers its lowest potential damage to the target.
