    In My experience energy weapons turn the victim into a toothpaste like glowing blue puddle.

      Your fallout experience also tells you lasers have recoil, so I wouldn’t place any value in that.

        Sure lasers don’t have recoil, but I see no reason a laser gun can’t have recoil.

        Anything from flywheel energy storage, a lasing medium compressed by pistons, massive magnetic fields created by high currents, who knows what’s inside that thing.

        A handheld laser gun has to generate a beam of such unrealistic intensity that I’d be surprised if the power stage didn’t buck in some manner.

        Well, technically they do. Just they have about as much recoil as your flashlight does.

          Yeah all the mass of the photons being propelled out has a real kick. /sarcasm

          No offence to you, at all, but the fact that your comment is a 3:1 ratio makes me sad for the future of humanity.

            Oh I’m just a general asshole and some folks realize it enough to downvote me. Pay it no mind.
