Yes, Oerjan is correct.  I said it was more massive, then gave it the
same 
MASS.  Originally, the Heavy Laser was to have a higher MASS and lower
point 
cost than the Battle Laser, but then I abandoned the points as a
balancing 
factor and just went with MASS.  Since it does twice the damage but has
half 
the fire rate, I couldn't see giving it anything other than the same
MASS.  I 
guess they're just big, bulky, have limited arc, and have more exposed 
externally mounted components.
So, anyway, the rule stands even if it contradicts my descriptive text.
