Yeah, that reminds me about something semi-related. Do generic Laser Rifles run on Standard-sized power packs (roughly the size of a pistol grip), or full-up Military-sized power packs (backpack-sized), or one of the in-between options?
Edit: I'd go for Satchel-sized if I had to pick (size and weight of a full canteen, provides enough power for 20 shots from a generic Laser Rifle) over any of the other sizes (Standard only gives five shots, Micro gives three, and Military size gives 40 at the cost of being far too bulky to carry additional packs). Really, my perusal of Sarna.net indicates that Military size should be saved for the heavy stuff, like Semi-Portable Support Energy Weapons.
