===Uses===

Pulse rifle fire makes great cover for human movement and attack.

The pulse rifle's shots are among the most eye-catching objects in the game: big red spears of laser light.  To an alien, a room filled with pulse rifle lasers looks extremely dangerous.

The psychological effect of this is useful.  If a single human spams pulse fire down a hall or into a room occupied by aliens, the aliens will often retreat.

===Pros===

At close range, the pulse rifle deals nearly as much damage as the chaingun, making it useful for knocking back alien assaults.  Away from the human base, the pulse rifle is a handy tool for dueling goons (a battery pack helps).

===Cons===

The slow pace of pulse rifle fire makes it nearly impossible to finish escaping aliens (they can run faster than the lasers).
