I don't see how that is possible, given that Point Defense turrets draw exactly the same amount of energy as Chaff Launchers.

Well it works!
I may have made a mistake at some point - I have changed ship configurations a few times and may not, I guess, have the C class KWS. I think I do though (I'm not in or near my Viper right now). However, the power usage looks right and I'm sure I have the Viper running at 107%.
The difference may well be in the fuels scoop: 3A is a waste; FSD interdictor, which I don't run; and the SCB, which I think is unnecessary in a Viper.

I never enter combat without an SCB on board, so that may be the difference after all. FSD Interdictor and Fuel scoop don't make a difference in combat performance, as they are low priority modules and thus automatically turned off when weapons are deployed.
Oh for the old days of Elite, when you could stick military lasers on front, back and both sides. Did the simplicity make the game less enjoyable, or affect the longevity? Not for me.
I figure, rather than spend several more days hauling beryllium, I'll use pulse lasers and a couple of railguns in the second group and stick to lesser targets.
sigh. At some point this game will be 'fun'.

I am sure military lasers will make a comeback at some point. Developers have stated several times that expanding the range of available weaponry is a feature planned for one of the future updates.
I really hope they'll introduce special equipment only available on certain economies (Hightech and Military come to mind) and restricted to rank progression (only Federal Officers / Imperial Lords or higher can purchase military lasers, for instance).
@CMDR Jameso: If you have the funds, purchase a Vulture and try it out with C3 Pulse lasers. They fry everything up to a Python pretty fast.

You don't need fancy beams lasers and A grade modules to shoot things.

No you don't, but without them combat can become pretty tedious.
"I've always been able to kill other ships really quickly, whatever the weaponry".
Well that'd be because you're brilliant. Well done.
