Pulse rifle fire makes great cover for human movement and attack.
The pulse rifle's shots are among the most eye-catching objects in the game: big red spears of energy bullets. To an alien, a room filled with pulse rifle lasers looks extremely dangerous.
The psychological effect of this is useful. If a single human spams pulse fire down a hall or into a room occupied by aliens, the aliens will often retreat.
