Temp storage of good article:
The laser cannon is the most basic of all the energy guns. Consistently improved over the decades since it was first introduced in 2628, they provide the standard against which most other blasters are judged. Despite their low damage potential, lasers are versatile, reliable, and very effective. In fact, it is widely believed that lasers have accounted for more fighter kills than any other weapon.
The lasers low maintenance, low energy cost, fast refire rate, and long range make it the standard armament for almost every ship in space. They are ideally suited for deep-space combat rather than atmospheric combat in which the rays refract off of particles and lose their effectiveness.
