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 problem is that it’s less efficient than throwing very small, very fast bits of metal at things. It’s possible, and if they were more efficient more research would go into them to improve them, but for the majority of applications its better to just fire a traditional projectile.
