I know a large primitive Chemical laser does 5 points of damage to standard armor ie 8 -3 . Does it do the full 8 damage to exsposed Internal Structure? I estimated the BV to be 62 for the weapon and 4 per ton of ammo ( using the light AC /5 as a model ) . Is that correct ?
Used the price as the 3059 Clan tech Chemical lasers for the rest . Designed a 3025 Condor fuel cell hover tank with a Primitive Large Chemical Laser : 2 SRM 4s : a machine gun and recon Camera in the turret as experimental application of existing tech in late Succession Wars . I would like an answer before play testing .

Partial answer:
If a primitive chemical laser hits standard armor then the damage stays reduced against the internal structure.
If a primitive chemical laser hits lower-BAR armor then the damage stays unchanged against the internal structure.

Still working on BV.

Battle value: the formal answer is that there isn't an official battle value for a "primitive chemical laser." The primitive weapon rules in Interstellar Operations only cover specific Age of War weapons, while BattleTech's chemical lasers are Clan weapons introduced in 3145.
Unofficially and informally, a BV of 62 sounds ballpark.
