==Overview==
The '''Mark XXI Nova Laser Pistol''' is an "energy-hog" of a laser pistol produced by the Sunbeam Corporation.  Designed specifically to combat [[Clan]] [[Elemental]]s, it fires the widest laser beam of any pistol on the market, allowing the Nova to damage a much greater surface area of the target.  While able to kill or incapacitate a man in a single shot, the diffused beam has a much shorter range and poorer armor penetration.  It also makes the Nova incredibly energy inefficient and, able to only connect to one [[power pack]] at a time, has led some to call it a "two-shot wonder."  Still, the weapon has become quite popular in the [[Chaos March]] following its introduction.<ref>''Chaos March'', p. 53</ref><ref>''LosTech'', p. 32-33</ref><ref name=ToDc8>"Tactics of Duty", Ch. 8</ref>
