Dumb science question
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.

1 ReplyShort answer, no Long answer, laser weaponry is a horrible weapon. For the amount of energy it takes to fire one damage dealing laser blast, I could superheat, and fire, a few dozen of charged plasma rounds the size of your head.
