What is the main challenge of creating energy based weapons?

977 viewsEngineeringOther

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?

Portable power storage and generation. The tech we have today is *quite* chunky and still very dependant on weather conditions.

I don’t know about video linking but I can point to one wich is basicly an hour long powerpoint on laser and microwave weapons.
