 One of the best weapons in the game, the Laser Rifle is the next step up from the [[Laser Pistol]], and leads on to the [[Heavy Laser]]. Good accuracy, long range, no ammo needed, burst fire; this gun has it all. It does a ''lot'' less damage than the [[Heavy Plasma]], but that's about it. The [[Rifle|conventional Rifle]] reaches its limits with [[Floater]]s and [[Snakemen]], but the Laser Rifle, once developed, is useful for the rest of the game.

 This weapon appears in ''[[X-COM|UFO: Enemy Unknown]]''. For the ''[[TFTD|Terror from the Deep]]'' equivalent, refer to the [[Gauss Rifle]].
 Note with the additional bonus from kneeling, an aimed shot provides 115% * soldier base accuracy.
