Pistols:

C.A.F. HI-10B Pulse Heavy Laser Pistol:
Modified version of the HI-10 Laser Pistol which is modified to fire two shot bursts for greater damage. The weapon is not commonly available outside of military circles although some Independent Defense Forces do operate the pistol. It is not common issue in the Consortium Armed Forces themselves although is issued to some special forces and some officers have managed to requisition the weapons for themselves. This modification does increase the weight a bit compared to the standard model but the weapon is still quite popular.

C.A.F. XR-120 Heavy X-Ray Laser Pistol:
A pistol that is slowly replacing the CAF HI-10 Heavy Laser Pistol and looks much like it. Instead of using a high intensity laser beam, it uses a powerful X-Ray laser beam. The main advantage of this is that the weapon is still silent unlike particle beams and plasma weaponry yet does full damage to laser resistant materials and through anti-laser aerosols. The beam is also invisible without special equipment. The pistol can fire in single shot or two round burst. This weapon is only being used to CAF Fleet Personnel and is not being given to Independent Defense Forces. Unlike original X-ray laser weapons, this weapon does not require a nuclear explosion to generate the X-Rays
