In science fiction laser/energy weapons are depicted as having no recoil (such as a phaser in Star trek.) Now my question: If humans were to develop energy weapons would they actually be recoil-less or would they have recoil? The reason I'm asking is because physics isn't my strong suit.

Think of it this way: When you turn a lightbulb on, do you suddenly feel the light pounding on you, exerting a force? Figure it out.
