	:I wouldn't be too opposed to a merge and redirect. If you go by episode references, though, it's a tie. Laser pump is mentioned in "Lost Planet I" (laser pump is broke, you take the shot) and the "Young Lords" (Specter has ordered a suspicious number of laser pumps). Laser generator is mentioned only as it relates to swapping out parts on a Viper, in "Long Patrol" (swapping the laser generator for a pulse generator) and in "Fire in Space" (swapped for mega-pressure pumps and storage tanks of boraton in order to fight the titular fire). To that end, I'm not sure which I'd keep, with the laser pump being the potentially more realistic name and the "generator" convention being more consistent with the "pulse generator". --[[User:Steelviper\|Steelviper]] 07:19, 11 January 2007 (CST)		:I wouldn't be too opposed to a merge and redirect.
