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.
Laser weapons work by emitting a concentrated beam of light that can damage or destroy a target. Unlike traditional firearms that use bullets or projectiles, laser weapons do not require ammunition and can deliver precise and rapid energy to a target. Additionally, laser weapons have the potential for faster target acquisition and engagement, as well as reduced collateral damage compared to traditional firearms.
Three technological applications for lasers include laser cutting and welding for precision manufacturing, laser scanning for 3D imaging and mapping, and laser communication for high-speed data transmission in telecommunications and networking.
A laser gun produces laser light using a process called stimulated emission, where light is amplified and emitted in a focused, coherent beam. This is achieved by exciting atoms or molecules in a gain medium with energy source, such as electricity or light. This energy input stimulates the emission of photons, resulting in a concentrated beam of laser light.
Voice-activated laser pencils do not currently exist as a common product.However, in theory, such a device could use voice recognition technology to interpret spoken commands to activate a laser pointer attached to a pencil. The laser would then project a small beam of light, which could be useful for presentations or highlighting during discussions.
If by energy you are referring to 'laser' or light based weapons, we've got a few. Currently, we have guns that fire beams of intense light and when fired at the eyes, can cause temporary blindness. Aside from that, I'm certain we can develop a true Star Wars/Star Trek style blaster within a few years.
No. There are laser pointers that are available to the public, but they are not weapons. Laser guns as you see in science fiction do not exist.
no
The list of weapons that start with laser are: Laser axe Laser bow Laser chaingun Laser chainsaw Laser cannon Laser crossbow Laser daggers Laser gatling gun Laser knife Laser machete Laser machine gun Laser rapier Laser rocket launcher Laser scythe Laser shotgun Laser slingshot Laser sword Laser tommy gun Laser whip and countless others

They already do.

no
X-Ray Laser.
Yes, the US government has classified weapons that are not publicly disclosed due to national security concerns. These weapons may include advanced technology and capabilities that are restricted from public knowledge to protect military advantage and operations.
dragons don't exist,honey
With exception of Spartan laser, probably yes.
The weapons exist.
