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?

There's a star trek movie where they can't kill the borg because they keep adapting to the phasers, but then Picard picks up a tommy gun and nails them with it.

...Just keep using bullets guys.
