New Energy Weapon - Electrolaser

 "An electrolaser is a type of electroshock weapon that is also a directed-energy weapon. It uses lasers to form an electrically conductive laser-induced plasma channel (LIPC). A fraction of a second later, a powerful electric current is sent down this plasma channel and delivered to the target, thus functioning overall as a large-scale, high energy, long-distance version of the Taser electroshock gun."

-Wikipedia

Traveller needs these too, I think. 

Electrolaser - This energy weapon is neither as accurate nor as deadly as a laser pistol, but it is more versatile, allowing both lethal and nonlethal options. It uses the same battery as a stunner, but is more of a powerhog. "Rifle" versions are available with a somewhat increased range as well. Lethal damage uses two charges per shot. Because they rely on a tunnel of ionized air to work, they are useless in vacuum. They use the same battery pack as a standard stunner. These are often carried by security forces, often alongside sonic weapons which fill a similar roll.
