Description[edit]
X-Pulse lasers are 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 a new weapon per se, but an upgrade that is separately added to the weapon for an additional cost. X-Pulse lasers also build up tremendous heat but technicians have considered this as a necessary drawback.[2]
The small X-Pulse laser is the smallest of these weapons. It has good damage potential for its heat and boasts almost as much range as an Inner Sphere medium pulse laser or a Clan small pulse laser. Like all pulse lasers, the higher rate of fire allows for increased accuracy.
