This is something I don't understand. Xonotic is pretty much built around quick swapping weapons(or at least it's a huge part of the game), which requires key binds for each weapon and the user's ability to hit them instinctively. The laser secondary is not needed since anyone who has bound their keys and learned them can switch back to their weapon just as fast and without thought.
The laser secondary is not only a crutch, but also a very good way to discourage new players from using weapon specific key binds. This hurts them in the long run since they should be learning their binds(and encouraged to do so).
So, the current laser alt fire actually adds nothing to the game and hurts the player.
