Description

'Laser' stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation", a device that focuses an amplified beam of light on a small surface area. The medium laser uses this intensified beam of light to damage targets by heating them to melting temperatures. The relatively compact size and effectiveness of the Medium Laser attributes its widespread use over many types of combat units, though it is regarded as a "Heavy Support Laser" when carried by infantry squads or mounted on powered armor.

Manufacturing Information

Being one of the most common and oldest class of weapon system in use there are a vast number of manufacturers and factories producing this system. This reference should not be considered complete.
