PPCs have an enormous lag between shots, and use LOTS of heat.

For Power/Size, they are the single most efficient weapons in the game. To top it all off, they have excellent range. It deals immense damage on impact, and causes electrical disturbances in the Mech you hit, causing their HUD to go crazy or a few seconds. The PPC fires a bolt that looks like a cross between a sine wave and a lightning bolt. Perhaps there is no more notorious weapon in Mechwarrior. Still, highly recommended overall, and an excellent weapon.ДЄh, the PPC. The Large X-Pulse is highly recommended overall, but it's reasonably heavy - and it uses heat at the same rate the PPC does. Large X-Pulse Lasers deal signifigantly more damage than the Clan ER Large Pulse Laser, turning a weapon of questionable efficiency (the Large Pulse Laser) Into a weapon of formidable power. Probably the least-used of the X-Pulse Lasers, but still a good choice. All this comes as a higher cost in weight and heat.ДЄs the Small X-Pulse Laser, but in a Medium Laser format. It does more damage than even its clan counterpart, and has better range as well. A badass little weapon that can be extremely effective if used correctly, it has a very high fire rate. Inner Sphere's answer to the Clan Small Pulse. The Clan Version remains the run-away favorite here, but the IS version is nothing to sneeze at. This weapon is an often-overlooked powerhouse that is similar to its smaller counterparts, but it uses an additional slot and generates substantially more heat and uses a lot more weight. LARGE PULSE LASER and CLAN ER LARGE PULSE LASERДЇun. A good weapon, though in general I avoid Pulse Lasers. Slower, but deals more damage, at longer range, and using more weight and heat. MEDIUM PULSE LASER and CLAN ER MEDIUM PULSE LASER Weak as hell, but they fire obscenely fast. SMALL PULSE LASER and CLAN ER SMALL PULSE LASER Though the Clan version is generally considered the better of the two, the Large Laser should not be discounted it offers an excellent medium-range choice.ДЄs a 2-slot weapon, it's hard NOT to like the Large Laser and its Clan Counterpart. The Clan one has longer range and more punch, but creates substantially more heat and has a bigger lag between shots. However, it creates much less heat and fires faster. The Large Laser is less powerful and with shorter range than its Clan counterpart it also weighs more. It's an excellent sniping tool, due to its high accuracy and strong punch. They are one of the most common weapons pilots use, and for good reason - they are the standard on which virtually all other weapons are judged. They deal a lot of damage, have good range, and create a lot of heat. These are the big guns of the Laser Family. It's debatable which weapon is superior on some designs, but usually the Clan one wins out. The Clan version does more damage out to a longer range, but unfortunately, fires slower and creates a lot more heat. It's usually not enough to be an issue - but nonetheless, don't go insane with firing the things - aim carefully and make your shots count. Unlike the Small Laser, however, heat DOES start to become an issue with these, especially with the Clan version. Like the Small Laser, they weigh very little and take only one slot, so most pilots need not worry about weight (much) when dealing with Medium Lasers. Many mechs use these (the Osirus uses them as a primary offensive weapon), and they deal a good amount of damage when set in large banks. These are typical sidearm-style weapons that are generally used as backup weapons on a mech. The Clan version is - literally - infinitely superior and should be used above the IS version in every situation.

They deal tiny amounts of damage, but their fire rate can render them very effective when banked, and even the tiniest Mechs can fit a fuckload of them on their chassis. The main advantages of the Small Laser is that it takes only one slot, generates very little heat, and weighs extremely little.Д®ven when placed in large numbers, Small Lasers aren't really much of a weapon. They're not particularly great in large numbers, either. These weapons aren't very good on their own. Tonight, for the sake of Cham and a few others, I give you all a list of some weapons in MW4, and my opinions of each.
