Description[edit]
The improved heavy medium laser is Clan Goliath Scorpion's workhorse heavy laser design. Like the version introduced by Clan Star Adder, it can inflict twice the damage of a standard medium laser; unlike the Star Adders' weapon, it does not interfere with targeting systems, so Scorpion Warriors have a better chance of hitting their target.[3]
The improved heavy medium laser's only real drawback is the fragility of the capacitors it uses to store power. Much like a Gauss rifle, an improved heavy laser will explode if destroyed in combat, inflicting a hit equivalent to a medium laser to the 'Mech's internal structure.[3]
Models[edit]
The improved heavy medium laser is manufactured on the following planets:
| Brand | Planet | Company | Used by | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Series X-a | Alpheratz | Alliance Defenders Limited | Stinger IIC | [6] |
| Model Vi | Alshain | Bergan Industries | Ursus 3 | [7] |
| Tiercel | Sudeten | Falcon's Roost Orbital Assembly Plant | Persepolis | [8] |
