For example: laser rifles or pistols, anything that shoots out concussive energy that you see in sci-fi shooter games. This is obviously in the realm of science fiction but I can’t imagine that kind of technology is impossible to come by. With those weapons they can probably hold up to hundreds of rounds worth of energy/plasma/etc.
What would be the main roadblock with this kind of weaponry?
In: Engineering
The main thing holding us back is generally battery technology. Those types of weapons need a *lot* of energy and current battery tech is good but not that good yet.
For example we have railguns that are stationary, and can fire solid objects pretty damn fast, but they are also massive machines and take hefty juice.
