Of course that was like, two years ago, so digging it up would be a headache. Either way, it's theoretical devices so they can work how you wish. I was just quote Ultratech.

Re: ROF hits question.
See p114 under High Energy Laser: "The beam usually has a duration of only a few microseconds; lasers cycle multiple times per second." Pulse lasers are designed to have durations short enough for shockwave formation.

If the idea were to put more power on one spot, for snipers or target ranges, you'd built the weapon to have a higher power pulse and RoF 1. |

Although under GURPS rules, high RoF and lower power is spectacularly devastating to soft targets. A laser rifle shreds poorly-armored people or civilian machines much better than a dino laser.
