	The '''GTW ML-16 Laser''' is a [[Terrans\|Terran-designed]] [[primary weapon]] which was used extensively by the [[GTA]] before the [[Great War]]. The ML-16 works adequately against ~~hull~~ and consumes a negligible amount of energy per shot, allowing the pilot to divert more power to engines.		The '''GTW ML-16 Laser''' is a [[Terrans\|Terran-designed]] [[primary weapon]] which was used extensively by the [[GTA]] before the [[Great War]]. The ML-16 works adequately against hulls and consumes a negligible amount of energy per shot, allowing the pilot to divert more power to engines.

	Since the ML-16 was designed during the "shieldless" era of Terran and Vasudan history, it is largely ineffective against shielded targets, such as Shivan fighters and bombers. Despite being ultimately superseded by the [[GTW Avenger]] during the opening stages of the Great War, ML-16s were still being distributed among fighter squadrons even as of the [[Hades Rebellion]].
