I'd like to thank you for your foreword by giving credit to CMDBob and his Total Advent Weaponry mod. His weapon model was used to create this mod and is of very high quality, so be sure to check it out.

Added laser weapons as a secondary level to secondary magnetic weapons. As in long wars, laser weapons are more accurate and cheaper than magnetic weapons, at the expense of less power and smaller size.
