Another potential justification for firing discrete bursts is that a powerful laser heats up the air in front of it, which in turn disrupts the beam. Firing rapid bursts mitigates this.If we're going off script, a laser weapon also needn't shoot in bursts. You can explain it that way if you really want to, like the capacitors need to charge between shots. But if you've got the tech to design a death laser you might also have enough of an energy source to just sweep it across the battlefield in a single continuous beam.
