We all know the Laser Rifle has ammo, now. However, we have no clue what type of clip it is and how it reloads. Obviously, the chaingun simply just seems to have a barrel of ammo which it can refill through ammo stations. Rockets and grenades are kept in the ammo bin, which I'm assuming is somehow connected to the weapon, hence the automation in reloading.
But what type of clip does the Laser Rifle have? I can of course make up some crazy excuse in my own mind, but anything I could think of would be bending the rules way too much. Is it battery powered? I don't think you can fully reload a battery the exact moment it comes near an ammo station (which would have a very convenient recharge slot), no matter how futuristic the technology is. Does it have energy bars of uber radioactivity? Doubtful, considering nothing falls out of the laser rifle in nor first or third person. And obviousely, it does not fully get it's energy from your jets, otherwise you would either not be able to jet, or the charge would be back (and it would have unlimited ammo). Nor can it be solar powered for it would have unlimited ammo, then, too

...so what specifically IS the Laser Rifle's ammo? or is it just powered by an invisible genie that was somehow trapped into slavery and jammed into a laser rifle? or is it a CONSPIRACY!?
