   Effectiveness of laser weaponry, AKA: Wh

   So, lasers would be super awesome in space. Assuming you are close enough to a   
   target that there isn't a delay in what you are seeing, laser would be near   
   impossible to dodge. Given enough power and/or time they can chew there way   
   through anything(right?)   
   . They don't require heavy ammo that a ship would have to lug around. So, is   
   there any way to justify the use of projectile weaponry such as railguns, and   
   gunyguns (You know traditional explosive propelled firearms) in space warfare?
