Laser Rifle

The first of its kind, the standard Laser Rifle was developed with the intention of being the new age of weaponry. Portable, functional, and more efficient with resources, it was hailed as the "replacement for the more primitive ballistic firearm" ( Eli J. Hotchner, perfector of the concussive projection technology ). But with the rise of energy weapons, the development of Shields came quickly after and stymied their further spread. However, while ballistic weapons remain the paramount of personal protection and military armament, laser weapons still serve a purpose on the frontier where renewable energy is plentiful but raw materials may be scarce.

Laser weaponry is exceptionally accurate, however it also lacks the stopping power of more conventional firearms. All laser weapons receive a +2 Precision Bonus to attack rolls, but suffer a -2 Power Penalty on damage rolls.

Laser weapons require a power pack to operate. After 50 shots, the power pack must be replaced or recharged.
