Metallic firearm cartridges will never be successful either. Armored surfaces can deflect bullets and you can see where they are coming from. Right? I would never be so foolish to doubt that something will never be. When I was in 3rd grade, my teacher told me man could never go to the moon. My mother died of cancer in 1963 that has a 95% cure rate today. In 1963 it was a death sentence. I don't know a damn thing about lasers, but I do know that most of the things we use all day every day were considered sci-fi 50 or 60 years ago.

@tanmaykumar4561 Metallic cartridges were NOT successful when they were first introduced because they were NOT cheap and easy produce and greatly complicated logistics. Loose powder could be used with anything from a handgun to a cannon. Cartridges fit only specific firearms. Metallic cartridges were every bit as complicated, expensive and unwieldly when they were first introduced as lasers are now. THAT was the point, which you do seem to have taken. Thanks.
