==Description==
The '''Improved Heavy Small Laser''' is [[Clan Goliath Scorpion|Clan Goliath Scorpion's]] smallest Heavy Laser design. Like the version introduced by [[Clan Star Adder]], it can inflict twice the damage of a standard [[Small Laser]]. Unlike the Star Adder's weapon, it doesn't interfere with targeting systems, so Scorpion Warriors have a better chance of hitting their target.<ref name="TOp321"/>

The Improved Heavy Small 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 Small Laser to the 'Mechs internal structure.<ref name="TOp321"/>
