Description
The improved heavy medium laser is Clan Goliath Scorpion's workhorse heavy laser design. Like the version introduced by Clan Star Adder, it can inflict twice the damage of a standard medium laser; unlike the Star Adders' weapon, it does not interfere with targeting systems, so Scorpion Warriors have a better chance of hitting their target.[3]
The improved heavy medium laser's only real drawback is the fragility of the capacitors it uses to store power. Much like a Gauss rifle, an improved heavy laser will explode if destroyed in combat, inflicting a hit equivalent to a medium laser to the 'Mech's internal structure.[3]
