Lasers could use a Buff, too. Otherwise, all I can see is the counter to Poptarts being a Splatcat. Anything, that effects SRMs has a bigger effect on it then with Mediums. An SRM Medium can go around 100kph, with a Firpower of around 53. A Splatcat can go around 80kph and has a Firpower of 77. That Splatcat can deliver its damage, without triggering Ghost Heat, in the same anount of time as a Medium with SRMs and Lasers.

Lasers are in a half decent place. I can remove the ears of said splatcat before it even gets in range with proper laser builds, or the brawler oriented WubShee can remove one in less than 5 seconds, albeit inside SRM range.

Bring SRMs to the level of lasers, then we can talk about either bringing FLD in line with both, or bring both up to FLD. Spread damage will never compare if they have the same recycles.

At least with lasers, you can properly aim the damage.
