A Laser Rifle (10.0 kilograms, including power pack; Cr5,000; TL-9) is the standard high energy weapon, firing high energy bolts in the same manner as the laser carbine. [1]

Heavier, the laser rifle is also capable of longer sustained action and is somewhat sturdier. The power pack can provide 100 shots before recharging. As in the laser carbine, the laser rifle is connected to the power pack by a heavy-duty cable. Power packs are not interchangeable between the two weapons, however. [2]

Length: 1,000mm. Weight of rifle: 6,000 grams. Weight of power pack: 4,000 grams. Base price: Cr3,500 (extra power packs: Cr1,500). Cost of recharge, at commercial rates: Cr300. [3]
History & Background (Dossier)
Around the TL:7-9 epoch, Energy Weapons or DEW (Directed Energy weapons), also known as Beam Weapons or Projected Energy Weapons become a significant part of the battlefield. They start as rangefinders and target designators and eventually become a significant weapon for armored vehicles (AFVs), fighting ships, and even as infantry smallarms as the technology is miniaturized.
