Hmmmm yeah the numbers look promising. As a counterpoint one might argue that armour hardness is also a thing, but ofc that can be offset with (ammo-dependent) Corrosive MCs. Leaving Corrosive aside, a medium burst laser has Piercing 35, whereas an Anaconda has Hardness 65. So actually only 54% of the damage gets through.
A Focused med burst laser however has up to 77 Piercing, so it will in fact punch though all armour including the Type 10's.
So taking that into account, an OC med burst I.I. laser does 34*0,54 = 18 damage at 500m (and less at every meter further away). Whereas a Focused one will do its full 19.4 dmg at up to 1km (if you can hit).
Now ofc that gets changed again when you add the aforementioned Corrosive into the mix. Then OC/SR does 85% of its nominal damage against Conda.
Between OC and SRB, I think I'd rather tend towards OC because the falloff isn't quite as punitive, but I'd have to look at the drawbacks again.
