I'm not a physicists and I particularity don't like going into the nitty-gritty logistics of weaponry, especially since this is more fantasy than it is hard sci-fi. (The focus isn't on behind explaining the tech its about [i]using[/i] the cool tech.) So I'm going to say Star Wars blasters, because everybody knows what those are and leave it at that. If you really want a more in-depth explanation you can PM me, but in short they go pewpew and people die. lol
