Pulse lasers differ from traditional laser weaponry, in that instead of firing one powerful beam, they maintain laser beams fired off in quick succession. While offering an overall increased rate of fire, the heat output also increases accordingly.
Large Pulse Lasers are the largest pulse lasers, with a both destructive and far-reaching pulse beam. While even assault 'Mechs can be devastated by a short barrage of Large Pulse Laser fire, the heat buildup is tremendous and will quickly overheat 'Mechs if used for prolonged periods.
Models
The Large Pulse Laser is manufactured on the following planets:
| Brand | Planet | Company |

| Exostar | Delavan | Dynamico Limited |
| Magna 900P | Tancredi IV | Precision Weaponry[2] |
| Maxell | Chukchi III | Maxell Metals Incorporated |
| Selitex Cyclonic | Sian | Saroyan Special Projects |
| Sutel Precision Line | Tancredi IV | Precision Weaponry |

Notes
- ↑ Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade states that this model is used on the Grand Titan, its only appearance. Assuming this is not a typo, it makes the most sense for the FWL 'Mech to be getting its weapons from Irian, not Kessel.
- ↑ Handbook: House Davion, FanPro, 2007, pg. 174 states that Precision has branched out into Magna lasers. The description in Technical Readout: 3067 for the Sagittaire states that the Robinson-produced BattleMech uses Magna lasers, so it is likely that these new models of pulse lasers are coming from within the Draconis March and, thus, are the same.
