laser gun

Coherent light firearm

A laser gun is a device that emits a focused beam of light—either a fictional weapon in science fiction that fires destructive energy beams, or a real handheld tool using laser technology: The cop pointed a laser gun at the speeding car.

Real laser guns measure speed, read barcodes, or project targeting dots rather than vaporize enemies.
