A Mining Laser is a piece of industrial equipment designed to burn through rock (and anything else in the way).
It can also be used as a weapon by someone both strong enough and sufficiently motivated.
Unwieldy: A fighter who uses an Unwieldy weapon to shoot in ranged combat
treats the Shoot action as a Double action. A fighter
who uses an Unwieldy melee weapon in close combat cannot use a second weapon at the same time.
Unwieldy weapons take up two weapon slots, and other fighters gain +1 to Detect this fighter.
