Description[edit]
X-Pulse Lasers were 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 an entirely new weapon per se, but rather an upgrade that is separately added to the weapon for an additional cost. X-Pulse lasers also build up tremendous amounts of heat, but this has been considered by technicians as a necessary drawback. This weapon is currently still in its prototype stages.[4][5]
Like their standard pulse counterparts, Medium X-Pulse Lasers are the workhorse of the X-Pulse lasers series, and though they build large amounts of extra heat, they boast the same range as a standard medium laser. They also offer the improved targeting of the standard pulse laser.[5]
Models[edit]
The medium x-pulse laser is manufactured on the following planets:
Ceres Arms Model X[edit]
| Manufactured on | Manufactured by | Typically used in | References |
| Ares | Bergan Industries | Locust | [6] |
Defiance X5M[edit]
| Manufactured on | Manufactured by | Typically used in | References |
| Carlisle | Bowie Industries | Marauder | [7] |
Diverse Optics Type 25PX[edit]
Built on Kessel by Diverse Optics, the Type 25PX started to appear on Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery equipment in the wake of the Word of Blake Jihad.[8]
| Manufactured on | Manufactured by | Typically used in | References |
| Kessel | Diverse Optics | Pegasus (X-Pulse), Hiryo (Bloodhound), WFT-2B Wolf Trap, DRG-11K Dragon II | [9] [10] [8] [11] |
