The only thing that would hold you back is heat management as distance.
Lore wise this can makes sense as well due to lasers using crystals and energy more than actual "ammo"
The Laser is the Closest thing we have to a light machine gun in this game, something like this would truly make it shine.
Isn't the Laser Rifles magazine just a power cell that gets swapped out once depleted?

If the Victor's officer laser can be fitted so that it never overheats (on amarr assault, so they say), that's a bit broken.
Laser is supposed to have that handicap and require some player skill to use. Considering how beast mode things like the Alldins forge is, the Kubos PLC etc... I really feel that the viktors is fine as is. How about it being a beast mode weapon with still having that handicap?
I agree; Officer weapons should be powerful and threatening but they should also retain the drawbacks and limitations of a weapon types design. Alldins can't hold a charge, Kubos need reloading every time fired, Viktors should require heat management beyond slapping it on an AmAss

I really feel that the viktors is fine as is. How about it being a beast mode weapon with still having that handicap? If you give it a handicap it will lose a lot of its power. I for one do not think it needs that, just my opinion but I am pretty sure there are many others that use it that would agree. That being said if we are thinking about changing around the ammo and magazine sizes then I might be tempted by the overheat mechanic again, for that to be its balance.
The overheat is supposed to be its balance, or at least part of it, isn't it?
