Description
The Small Laser is a laser weapon mounted on battle armor suits. Equivalent to the Small Laser mounted on BattleMechs and Combat Vehicles, the battle suit version of the small laser was derived from infantry support weapons, in this case the Support Laser. The process of converting it from a support weapon has nevertheless created a radically new system with far greater potential.[3][4][5] The megajoules of energy unleashed by a small laser can prove deadly to a 'Mech, especially when used against gaps and gashes in its armor to target internal systems and ammunition bins to explosive effect.[6]
