I like your compact laser turret design. Most sci-fi universes have barrels on laser weapons for some reason.
That reason maybe, as far as I know, because laser beam is created in a glass(?) tube filled with various gases. So those barrels may be the those tubes.

If you look are currently used laser systems, they certainly have no long barrels. See Army.mil
Yes, thank you. I wanted them to be compact and different compared to the usual barreled guns. I also wanted them to be visibly different than guns we have in the game.
They COULD be Free Electron Lasers, which get an advantage from long barrels.

Wow, Flak looks like some kind of anti-cruiser gun.
I like the laser, but I think that it should be longer. You know, all that beam-making stuff takes some place.
Nah, anti cruiser guns are much bigger: Indiedb.com :)
It may take some place, but it doesn't need to be arranged in a single line. It cold be guided around using mirrors or something :)
