Energy-based weapon
From Tribes2Wiki
Energy-based weapons, or simply energy weapons, are weapons that have infinite ammunition, but require energy to use. Whenever you fire an energy weapon, your energy will decrease a certain amount. You cannot fire an energy weapon if your energy is below what that weapon requires.
