This component should be attached to a muzzle transform object representing the origin of the laser from the gun. Toggling this object on or off will enable/disable the laser beam. The laser does damage every update while active. It extends from the muzzle transform to ’Beam Range’ in front of the weapon. It does not spawn a separate projectile object, thus saving memory and CPU over a very fast ’Bullet’ and also giving an effect that moves with the weapon, whereas a ’Bullet’ will maintain it’s original trajectory after leaving the weapon. Since the object is never destroyed, pooling is not necessary on mobile.
