The Pulse Laser Turret is a Covenant starship weapon that can fire on both space and ground targets.

Physics

Before the weapon fires, it must first charge, during the charge a sphere of light energy forms at/around the charging weapon, and after it is charged, it expels a cyan beam of energy.

Damage

The weapon is said to have reduced the UNSC frigate UNSC Commonwealth's armour in sections three and four to a quarter which would mean (as frigates are known to have 60cm-thick armour) that a pulse laser hit is capable of melting through 45cm of titanium A battleplate in mere seconds. This means that pulse lasers pose a serious threat to UNSC frigates (and presumably smaller and lighter armoured UNSC ships) as it only takes one hit to melt through parts of it's armour however, it is believed that, larger UNSC ships which have thicker armour would have to take multiple pulse laser hits to get the same results.
