XM-312 Vehicle Heavy laser (successor of the PGC-HL5) tripod-mount

A vehicle mounted heavy laser is even more powerful than a standard heavy laser. As the name implies, it is typically mounted on a vehicle, though nothing prevents it from being mounted in a fixed fortification as well. It is capable of being dialed up to 30 SEU per shot, and has a longer range. Vehicle-mounted heavy lasers operate off of a power econopack.

The standard heavy laser is described in the Alpha Dawn rulebook. The vehicle-mounted version of from the article "Tanks a Lot" in Dragon #91.
