In MW:O, and in Battletech in general.
I know they aren't chemical lasers: http://www.sarna.net..._Chemical_Laser
So... what are they? How is it that they never run out of ammo? Is it ever explained in the fluff?

Wait, So What Type Of Lasers Are We Using?

Isn't the other variant of laser using crystals or lenses that focus the light?

I suspect Battletech Laser are using Unobtanium Crystals.
If you go by the description of PPCs, you wonder why they never run out of ammo.

Examples of active laser media include:
- Certain crystals, typically doped with rare-earth ions (e.g. neodymium, ytterbium, or erbium) or transition metal ions (titanium or chromium); most often yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG), yttrium orthovanadate (YVO4), or sapphire (Al2O3);[1]
- Glasses, e.g. silicate or phosphate glasses, doped with laser-active ions;[2]
- Gases, e.g. mixtures of helium and neon (HeNe), nitrogen, argon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, or metal vapors;[3]
- Semiconductors, e.g. gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs), or gallium nitride (GaN).[4]
- Liquids, in the form of dye solutions as used in dye lasers.[5][6]
