The so-called "Standard" Laser Pistol is a personal light-based energy weapon widely popular in the Frontier. It accepts standard powerclips or can be attached to a power beltpack or power backpack.
Laser pistols have an adjustable power setting ranging from 1 to 10, consuming an equal number of SEU per shot; lower settings are less damaging than higher settings, but all settings are technically "lethal", with no available "stun" setting.
Pan-Galactic Corporation markets the PGC-1 in various models, including one which is packed with survival kits in the lifeboats of starships exploring the Frontier. The PGC-1 is highly ergonomic and easily usable by human, yazirian, dralasite and vrusk hands, though a vrusk version is available which is more comfortable for their hand anatomy.
Besides the PGC-1, other laser pistol models are available, such as the KE-1500, as well as lighter, more concealable versions like the KE-1000.
A wide range of accessories are available for Laser Pistols, including Shoulder Stocks, Barrel Extensions and Optic Sights, which effectively convert the Pistol into a carbine.[1]
