It’s hard to store enough energy in a compact, portable way for our current laser technology to produce a sufficiently dangerous beam. Basically, we don’t have good enough laser and/or battery technology to make a lethal laser that’s not the size of a small car, weighs less than a tractor trailer, and can be fired more than once every few minutes, cheaply.
