Rechargeable power packs feed the discharge generator, each of which usually consist of a highly efficient liquid metal core and vary in size and capacity depending on their usage. Light internal power packs, used in lasguns and pistols, on average are good for forty shots; large crate-sized power packs used in lascannons, in order to maintain maximum power output efficiency, need replacing after every shot. Overpowered laser packs, also know as [[Hotshot Laser Power Pack|"Hotshot"]] power packs, contain a more potent charge but provide less shots than a normal power pack, as well as putting extra stress on the barrel and being more difficult to recharge.{{Fn|1}}
Most worlds produce their own distinct laser designs made from locally available materials and containing their own unique features, such as solar converters to recharge power packs and various types of optic sights. These designs can range from highly ornate, hand-crafted dueling pistols to robust service weapons issued to the Imperial Guard.{{Fn|1}} By being tuned to a blue-green frequency, Lasers weapons can operate underwater.{{Fn|6}}
The production of some more unusual and unspecified Imperial heavy las weaponry utilizes [[prismata crystals]] in their manufacturing process. Because of this, these red glowing crystals are expensive and highly sought after in order to make lucrative sales to the right buyers.{{Fn|4}}
