== Description ==
The '''Micro Pulse Laser''' was designed by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] (alongside the [[ER Micro Laser]]) primarily for use on their [[ProtoMech|ProtoMechs]]. It has since spread to all the [[Clans]]. It has been used on several Battle Armor systems.  Like the Small Pulse Laser, this model can be set to a burst fire mode designed to eliminate infantry.<ref name="TMp226"/>

== Models ==
Since the Micro Pulse Laser is exclusively a [[Clan]] weapon, there are no [[Inner Sphere]] manufacturers or models. This also means that there are no X-Pulse, ER Pulse or Variable Speed versions of this weapon. Additionally, it has not yet been modified to serve as a [[Laser Anti-Missile System]], like the Small Pulse Laser has.

<div class="gamerules">
=== Game Rules ===
Like all pulse weapons, Micro Pulse Lasers receive a -2 to hit modifier, but cannot benefit from the called shot effect of Targeting Computers.<ref name="BT:MRp129">''BattleTech Master Rules'', p. 129, "Pulse Lasers"</ref>
</div>

== Trivia ==
Aside from functioning as a Pulse Laser and having an Anti-infantry mode, the Micro Pulse Laser has identical stats (size, mass, heat, damage and range) to the standard [[Small Laser]] that is widespread throughout the Inner Sphere. For modern Inner Sphere or Mixed Tech units looking to upgrade with Clan Tech, the Micro Pulse Laser is a viable option.
