Fun fact

"Laser Guns" especially beam lasers, would require an immense amount of power to generate a beam even for the shortest amount of time.

So...that being said...are handheld laser guns really that cool? A shot to the wrong place could blow you up...just saying.

I love laser, but yeah. The micro energy sources you'd need to realistically power laser small arms would be such a world changing technology.

@Xuan12 Agreed, when we can generate that much energy on a small scale, we'd be technological gods.

@Fangirlsarah1996 Yeah, but so many times we've invented things we thought would fix all our problems, then we make new problems. XD

@Xuan12 Well if the tech is widely available to the point that we just stop using bullets...there wouldn't be many problems.

Apart from the whole exploding thing.

@Fangirlsarah1996 Because people are shooting each other with their laser guns? XD

It's like energy from hydrogen fusion. If we could get it to work, we'd have a near infinite source of clean energy. It could literally be the engine that drives the end of poverty with ease...IF we let it. But that's not what we tend to do.
