Why are there no laser weapons?
The battery issue is just one of the reasons why we don’t have laser guns yet. Directly exposing an eye to a laser for even a short space of time can cause permanent damage to vision, or even blindness. So if hand-held laser weapons are ever invented, laws may need to be changed in order to use them.

Is a railgun real?
As of 2020, railguns have been researched as weapons utilizing electromagnetic forces to impart a very high kinetic energy to a projectile (e.g. APFSDS) rather than using conventional propellants. For a similar projectile, the range of railguns may exceed that of conventional guns.
Is a plasma gun possible?
Strictly speaking they don’t, since no plasma weapons exist today. The closest thing we have is the plasma cutter. Plasma is generated by vaporizing some sort of feedstock matter (usually already gaseous) with properties conducive to this use.
Are blasters possible?
However, it is possible to produce them in laboratories. A common misconception about blasters is that they are laser weapons. This means that blaster bolts (glowing projectiles) are simply blobs of plasma – similar to a lightsaber flying through the air.
