The '''Burst Laser''' is an energy weapon that emits a burst of three laser blasts with each shot. Burst Lasers can inflict more damage per shot than a [[Pulse Laser]] provided that each blast hits its target.

~~The Burst Laser is an energy weapon that is mounted on one of your ship's hardpoints and needs to be assigned to a fire group before it can be used. When fired it emits three~~ laser ~~blasts in each burst~~, ~~much like a burst fire assault rifle compared to a semi-automatic rifle.~~ Burst ~~lasers do much more~~ damage ~~in a single burst than a [[Pulse_Laser|pulse laser]] does in a single shot.~~

==Usage==

As with other laser weapons, the Burst Laser inflicts thermal damage, and so shields have a resistance penalty against them. [[Armour Hardness|Armour piercing]] capability is low, but slightly higher than that of [[Beam Laser]]s, making them less effective against hulls than shields. Burst Lasers require more power to use and generate more heat than a [[Pulse Laser]], but not as much so as a Beam Laser. The weapon's range is 3000m but [[Damage Falloff]] begins at 500m.

~~Damage type is thermic~~, and so shields have a resistance penalty against them. Armour piercing capability is ~~rather~~ low (but ~~very~~ slightly higher than that of ~~beam lasers)~~, making them less effective against hulls than shields ~~- but not ineffective~~. ~~These traits are common to almost all laser weapons.~~

Burst Lasers require more power to use and generate more heat than a [[~~Pulse_Laser|pulse laser~~]], but not as much so as a [[Beam Laser]].
