Description[edit]

The Small Re-Engineered Laser is an offshoot of experiments to mate a Clan Heavy Laser with a Pulse Laser. Though the experiments were unsuccessful, the resulting Re-Engineered Laser family has the unique ability to ignore the effects of Ferro-Lamellor, Hardened, and Reflective Armor. This allows the Small Re-Engineered Laser to inflict its full damage on units protected by those armor types.[2]

The Small Re-Engineered Laser is the smallest member of the Re-Engineered Laser family. Like all Re-Engineered Lasers, the pulse cycle is so short that it only has a -1 to-hit modifier.[1] It is compatible with Targeting Computers. Aside from its unique armor-penetrating properties, it behaves like a standard Small Laser.

Models[edit]

No name was given for manufacturer the Small Re-Engineered Laser carried on the Fire Falcon -R. The lasers on the Fire Falcon -R are (IS) based making the Fire Falcon a mixed technology Clan Omni 'Mech. As of 1 Jan 2024 there are no other examples of Small Re-Engineered Laser's in the BattleTech Universe.
