Assault laser cannon

An assault laser cannon was an extremely powerful, yet short-ranged, type of laser cannon sometimes installed on starships.
==Characteristics==
Assault laser cannons had extremely high damage output, rivaling that of a turbolaser, but were hampered by a severe lack of range.Starships of the Galaxy Based on a damage output of 9d10x2 which puts its damage output on par with double turbolasers in the same source, such as with the 'Dead Reckoning'. Because of this, assault laser cannons were only useful at short to moderate distances, and had no long range ability as they became progressively inaccurate past short-range. Due to their power, they were sometimes installed on assault ships and bounty hunter craft.
