Here's a quick comparison on EDSY, apart from a slightly lower wep cap drain a pulse with the same mod has lower power draw, slightly higher DPS and breach damage

Rapid fire is not that bad, but it's also not that good. It's meh. Same can be said about burst lasers in general.

Besides, there is an efficient beam with thermal vent. Anyone who wants lasers on their ship should try it first.

The performance is ok.
Main problem is the jitter at long range.

Not to mention damage falloff. Rapid-fire lasers (both pulses and bursts) are good only at small (less than 1 km) ranges. At 1.5 km, they have troubles hitting Anaconda-sized target.

Long Range is much better IMO.

This. Certain mods are more "fun" - rapid fire looks super cool and efficient beams are a blast because you can fire forever - but long range is the top performer.

Still the most fun I've had in PVE is using dual efficient beams in my vulture. All the combat is point blank dogfighting. But it doesn't work so well in PVP.
