A Q Switch is a laser component that turns a laser into a pulse laser.
Up to 4 Q Switches may be attached to a Laser Coupler. Using at least one Q Switch turns the laser from continuous to pulsed. The number of Q Switches determines how often a laser can discharge that Laser Coupler, and what percentage of the stored energy is discharged at a time. The damage dealt is proportional to the energy used.
| Q Switches | Pulses per second | Drain per pulse | Damage per energy | Range per energy/s (m) |
