The Laser Cannon is a type of gun of starfighters.
Lasers don't do a lot of damage but they have long range, are reliable, versatile and effectice. Usually the first shots during a conflict are laser blasts. Historically, they have probably accounted for more enemy kills than any other weapon.[1]
Kilrathi fighters that sport the Laser are the Salthi, Dralthi, Krant, Gratha, Jalthi.[2]

Compared to other guns, the laser has more range (1800 mrrs more than any other gun) and speed, but it is also the weakest; it reaches a farther target, it reaches it rapidly, and doesn't deplete blaster power. Of course, despite its great range, its effectiveness decreases the farther away the target gets.[4]
