Laser Cutlass

A high grade sword that cuts clean through most materials.

Overview
The handle is made of high grade Inconel and is infused with materials to absorb the intense heat from the laser. The blade is about 36 inches though the user can change the size if they need to. Rare crystals power the laser its self, that acts more like a plasma and cuts clean through people and body armors. Even energy shields have issues stopping these weapons, as the heat inself can burn straight through it. The cutlass can really only be stopped by another laser cutlass, though the cutlass cannot stop bullets. While it can block some plasma, bullets are more just burned up by the blade, though the user would need amazing reflexes to stop automatic fire. Notable uses include Karl-591.
