Question about sci fi guns...

...why are they so shit?

If you look at a lot of sci fi guns it becomes apparent that the designers of such weapons were too focused on what is high tech than what's actually effective.

Take the blasters from Star Wars, famous enough right? Their bolts travel at around 75kph

With if we're talking projectile speed? That's shit...honestly lol how does anyone in that universe hope to win a war? Then again, laser swords are a common weapon in the universe (I wonder why)

Any other sci fi weapons that compared to what we have now is terrible?

@sarabee1995: Well I used Google to search the shit...but there are people out there you measured how fast the blasters travel in most media Star Wars has been represented.

The figure they came out with was around 75kph
