    In My experience energy weapons turn the victim into a toothpaste like glowing blue puddle.

        Sure lasers don’t have recoil, but I see no reason a laser gun can’t have recoil.

        Anything from flywheel energy storage, a lasing medium compressed by pistons, massive magnetic fields created by high currents, who knows what’s inside that thing.

        A handheld laser gun has to generate a beam of such unrealistic intensity that I’d be surprised if the power stage didn’t buck in some manner.

          Yeah all the mass of the photons being propelled out has a real kick. /sarcasm

          No offence to you, at all, but the fact that your comment is a 3:1 ratio makes me sad for the future of humanity.
