===Charge Pack===
[[File:Lasgun and charge pack.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Lasgun and a spare charge pack{{Fn|99a}}]]'''Charge packs''', also called '''power packs''',{{Fn|8}} are the ammunition power source for many Imperial las weapons.{{Fn|99a}} [[Hotshot Laser Power Pack|Hotshot laser power pack]]s are an alternate form of power pack used for hot-shot las weapons, some . Some trade-offs being for the increased power is a bulkier pack that they is more stressful on the gun.{{Fn|9b}} They are more robust but also more expensive to makeand harder to charge.{{Fn|}}
A major advantage of las weapons is the rechargeable power cells of their charge packs. Las charge packs can be refilled by connecting them to most Imperial Standard power sockets. These can also be recharged through exposure to light, heat, and even naked flame, however, doing so shortens the pack's lifespan and risks upsetting the weapon's [[machine spirit]].{{Fn|99a}}
Placing a these power packs around a campfire overnight is an old Guardsman trick that can recharge a few extra shots overnight. Some of the more puritanical [[tech-adept]]s readily decry this unsanctioned behaviour, as placing power packs dangerously close to a campfire risks damaging the valuable internal components.{{Fn|8}}
