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.
Oh, sorry, yeah, I thought you were just asking about how those things with in general, not whether such a weapon could make someone confused. Yeah we don’t have anything that works that way.
Wouldn’t Directed Energy Weapons make him burn and itch so bad he’d jump around?
We have those, we’ve used them in real combat, but they don’t work like that.
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.
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.

Depends on the weapon.
I asked a question and I’m legitimately curious, got some sources?
I wrote a whole thing, but honestly Wikipedia does a pretty good job on this one.

Got it, so what I said stands uncontested. Beam weapons do not work that way.
