Equip: One-handed weapon
Type: Modern, Non-Magical
Damage: Incendiary

Special: Can tune energy usage per shot. Higher energy requires a longer reload time between shots and consumes more of the power cell, but packs a bigger punch.
Laser pistols found on Calydon are actually mostly modified spot-welding tools that were once used by InTech engineers. They have a short range, but can hurt a lot! They act as a small arm that holds a minimal and decaying energy reservoir that can fire off a few shots before requiring a recharge from a power-cell. It has a similar effectiveness to a terrestrial taser, although with slightly greater range.
