Yes, they are called directed energy weapons. While they don't yet resemble something you would see in a Science Fiction movie, they are moving towards that. High powered COIL lasers have been mounted onto Boeing 747s to shoot down incoming ICBMs (YAL-1), slightly lower powered lasers are used to destroy targets on the ground from airplanes (Advanced Tactical laser) or trucks (Mobile Tactical High Energy Laser), microwaves are used to heat the water in peoples skin to around 130F causing debilitating pain (Active Denial System), very low powered lasers are used to temporarily blind and disorient targets, and so on.
By laser gun I'll assume you mean laser based directed energy weapons. The most common way is through harnessing the energy of chemical reactions such as in COIL lasers or DF lasers.
A laser rangefinder uses a laser to determine the distance to an object. The principle used is the time of flight principle based on the speed of light.
Low level laser also referred to as a cold laser.

A laser is the device itself, the beam is.. well, the beam coming out of the laser.
