With tongue only slightly in cheek, a Medium Laser fires once every ten seconds (the turn duration in Battletech) out to a maximum range of 270 meters (9 hexes, at 30m/hex)...
Which is to say that the ranges and rates of fire given in BT are pretty nonsense and one shouldn't use them as guidelines for conversion. >.>
