− The '''Large Chemical Laser''' is the [[Large Laser]] equivalent in the Chemical Laser family. Intended for use on combat vehicles that have an [[ICE]] or [[fuel cell]]-powered motor, the chemical laser uses a "shell" {{cn}} of lasing chemicals to create the energy it needs to fire a laser beam at a target. The drawback to this system is that unlike every other laser system that exists, it can actually run out of ammunition. The key advantage to the system is that it will operate on vehicles that lack a fusion engine and it doesn't require power amplifiers.<ref name="TOp320">''Tactical Operations'', p. 320, "Chemical Lasers"</ref> + The '''Large Chemical Laser''' is the [[Large Laser]] equivalent in the Chemical Laser family.
