If Individually  culminate 12 1 watt blue lasers, and put them in a ring pointing them at a single point and then add another lens to culminate them to a beam, and then pulse them at 5 amps (1.2 amp gives 1 watt) each for 50ms  will I get a laser in the 40 watt range? 4x12=48 watts?
or will da beems interfere and negate each other?

assuming they are on a treadmill in an airplane in free fall.

They won't be coherent with one another.  Different phases, and probably slightly different frequencies.  Combining solid state laser can be done, but not like that.

how about if I fired them sequentially at 1ms each, and maybe 10 amps?
