chemically propelled kinetic energy weapons might well never be surpassed for personal weapons. Larger ships may use magneticly accelerated kinetic energy weapons. directed energy is an inefficient meme that will never be used for more than point defense. big rock is strongest

Those were heat sinks, not ammo user

I don’t like ammo in shooters. Why couldn’t mass effect 2 and 3 use the system they made for me1?

>fuck, we need to give the guns ammo......uhhhh, lets just make all the guns overheat now so you have to swap magazine-er I mean radiators.

Railguns

Alright, okay. I assume we are talking about handheld guns here.
Lasers are decent, but have some notable deficiencies when compared to powder-based.
1) They require an external (to the "projectile") power source. With current tech, a sufficient power source will be large and/or heavy. Not something you want on a gun. With future tech, the size and weight could be cut down, but the power of the laser will still be proportional to the size/weight of the power source. You will also need to carry extra power sources, or a way to recharge depleted ones.

2) Lasers don't carry any appreciable kinetic energy. The damage caused by the laser will be constrained to burning damage, or maybe local ionization. To make it powerful enough to burn a hole through someone, the power source must again be increased in size/weight.

3) Lasers are inherently subject to technical issues related to heat, electromagnetism, and physical damage. This is due to their relatively delicate electrical components and need for precision optics.

Powder based ballistic ammunition, on the other hand, has some notable benefits.
1) Ammunition is self-contained. The gun is just a conduit for the ammo. Simply bring enough ammo with you and you're good. No extra logistics required

2) Bullets carry significant kinetic energy with them, allowing them to burst through walls, and severely fuck up organic tissue. This is possible with just a tiny amount of explosive powder. More powder means more energy, which can be easily accomplished.

3) The guns themselves are physically durable, and easily disassembled/maintained by the end user.

>people aren't just an uniform one colored mix of current races

This retarded faggot has such a punchable face.

A good alternative. See above. Rail guns combine the benefits of laser and powder-based weapons. However, due to the sheer electrical power required to really produce enough kinetic energy to cause significant damage at a distance, you will need a large power source. This may be ideal for vehicle-mounted or stationary weapon systems, but I have a hard time believing it is viable for hand-held weapons, even with futuristic power sources.

>throw dust in the air
wow great gun you have their

What if you shot a high velocity projectile to clear the air channel and then shoot the laser after it.

Directed energy weapons will never be handheld, not unless there's a massive leap in battery tech that makes them a gazillion times stronger.

Neither will rail guns.

Some lasers are already around that can debilitate personnel, but these have already been deemed unethical and they're actually shitty weapons.

You'll be able to get plasma on a jeep, and that's about it.

god i wish human girls were real

>plasma
Doesnt that shit disperse too much too quickly in the air? You would need some way of making it stick together enough for it to actually travel a significant distance, let alone the hundreds of meters.

Basically everything in this post.
In most laser speculation I've read, ship-mounted lasers use hundreds of kilowatts and hold on the projectile for a period to destroy it. It is estimated that to effectively kill a personell target instantly with pass-through damage, a laser would need about 2 megawatts of energy, or about the daily output of a fucking coal factory.
Also there's thermal bloom.

Plasma doesn't disperse is there's a medium holding it. Lasers disperse much more actually.

Sometimes you can't get much better than what you already have.

Dune has the objective best of both worlds where both lasers and ballistic have their uses, with lasers being objectively superior unless the enemy you're shooting at has a Holtzman shield in which case you're probably super fucked.

>Holtzman shield
That's why you always keep a knife on your belt.

yeah right

Hell no.KE is much stronger than heat.A power source strong enough to power a laser that can kill humans can be used to build a railgun that will be 1000x more efficient.
