Hmmm, that one little octave right in the middle.

Let's just call them all LASERs and be done with it.

But sweet no matter what we call it. One more step along the way towards us growing up, or checking out in favour of the next candidate for dominant species.

Mix-n-match a compact and powerful enough wiggler with Plasma wave acceleration and an X-LASER carbine is within the bounds of possibility and a light vehicle portable weapon is inevitable.
