Armington Laser Carbine Model 3

Description

The ALC-3 was a progressive development of the ALC-2 and was the first infantry laser weapon adopted by the U.S. military (initially as a sniper weapon) as the M-3.  Standard practice was for the sniper team spotter to carry a spare power pack in addition to his personal weapon.
