Overview

The Beam Laser fire continuous parallel strands of laser beam, and as such is a considerable upgrade from the Pulse Laser, but will overheat far more rapidly. It is effective out to a maximum range of 15,000 metres.

Sales Pitch

The Ingram Model M1928A2 is highly recommended for front shooting. Beam lasers fire continuous laser strands, up to 150 in parallel. Barrel is Allutium + lined with tensioned plastiglass, and as with the 1919A4 Pulse Laser, power is provided by main drive link. Beam Lasers are capable of slicing through 410mm FL metal.
