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
Aside from battery technology being nowhere near what you need the biggest problem is copper jacketed lead does the job just fine. A laser or plasma weapon would have no real advantage. I do I tend to conceal carry full size pistols, but they are downright tiny in comparison to what you’re describing. Likewise my AR’s, AK and shotguns are 7-9 pounds loaded. odds are we won’t have man portable energy weapons for at least a few hundred years.
