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
Plasma acts primarily like a gas, to oversimplify, so I don’t know how shooting what is effectively an ionized gas is going to do at any real range.
Laser weapons exist and are used, but they’re not going to give concussive energy. Lasers are light, so they just transmit energy in a beam to a target causing it to overheat.
Also the energy storage for a handheld personal laser gun would be ridiculous with current energy storage tech.
