Wing Commander Claw Marks
Laser Cannon - Lasers don't do a lot of damage. Still, nearly all pilots have at least one story in which the long range of the laser allowed them to get first strike on a foe. Despite their low damage potential, lasers are reliable, versatile, and effective - they have probably accounted for more enemy kills than any other weapon.
Wing Commander 2 Manual
Laser Cannon. The least powerful, most reliable blaster-type weapons, lasers don't inflict much damage, but are effective at long range.
Wing Commander 3 Victory Streak
Laser Cannon The laser is the backbone of today’s energy guns. Consistently improved upon and perfected over the last half-century, the laser provides the standard against which most other blasters are judged. Low maintenance and a low energy cost make it standard armament for almost every ship in existence. The laser is ideally suited to deep-space combat (in atmospheric conditions, rays refract and lose their effectiveness), and has no effect against shields on larger ships.
