−	==History==	+	==Description==
−	X-Pulse Lasers were an attempt, started in [[3055]], by [[Federated Commonwealth]] technicians to increase the range of [[Pulse Laser|pulse laser]]s. The research endeavor was hampered by the [[FedCom Civil War]], though prototypes existed at the time that had fired faster and with more power than current Inner Sphere pulse lasers. By the time of the [[Jihad]], X-Pulse Lasers were undergoing preproduction testing and presumably fell into the hands of the [[Word of Blake]]. By [[3075]], the technology had not yet been made widely available but had started to hit the markets by [[3078]].<ref name=TO_321/><ref name=TRP_207>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 207, "Jihad Technology Advancement Table"</ref>	+	X-Pulse Lasers are an attempt by [[Federated Commonwealth]] 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 this has been considered by technicians as a necessary drawback.
