A laser gun uses small arms technology for loading and firing a cartridge containing flash powder. When the cartridge is fired, the flash powder burns to produce an intense burst of light. This light is directed for optically pumping a laser medium that emits an intense pulse of laser light. The cartridge-based small arms technology allows the gun to be easily and conveniently carried about and fired rapidly and reliably.

[ I claim:] [1.] In a small arms type laser gun, a small arms type cartridge for use in a small arms size cartridge chamber of the laser gun, said cartridge comprising:a. a casing adapted to fit within the small arms cartridge chamber, the casing being charged with a chemically combustible flash material that emits an intense light when burned;b. a retainer confining said flash material within an output end of said casing;c. a primer arranged within a primer end of said casing;d. said primer end of said casing having a rim arranged for limiting the entry of said casing into the cartridge chamber; ande. detonation of said primer being arranged to initiate chemical combustion of said flash material for blowing expanding and light-emitting gases from said output end of said casing as said flash material burns so that light emitted from said gases is directed forward of the cartridge chamber where it is effective for pumping a predetermined laser medium.
