A heavy-duty, semi-portable laser used for mining, the laser drill is a tripod-mounted projector much more powerful than a laser rifle. It is also more cumbersome and far less accurate, being intended for work at short ranges. The tripod mount is an accessory: 1 kg, 2 liters, Cr 250.
A power pack - not interchangeable with that used on personal laser weapons - can be hooked to the drill, providing one hour of intermittent use. A cable can be run from either a portable fusion generator or the power plant of a nearby vehicle. This will allow the drill to be used for as long as desired. Although not technically a weapon, many worlds treat it as such and others will expect owners to prove mining intent.
The powerpack are at TL–9 are 8 kg, Cr 60., and at TL–14 are 5 kg, Cr 60.
