The only other thing I can think of is where their power-packs come from. If you were to load your rifle with a Martian maufactured battery, expect your weapon to over-weld through that scrap plate on your Orkish target's chest, the Ork, and then tickle his buddy twixt the eyes behind him. If you were to load it with a fringe world's product however, see the definition of "Flashlight". Cadian weapons might occupy the 0' mark between the two and everyone else would follow inbetween (aside from the x1000 death machine packs people might stumble across on one of the decripit Federation worlds). As for the M.A.S.E.R. versus L.A.S.E.R. arguement, depends on photonic output. If it RIPS through armor and leaves a hole on the first shot, M.A.S.E.R. If it takes some time to tickle the target and chars the target slowly, L.A.S.E.R. Ugh, blast it, ran my mouth to much again.

Remember that WH40K runs on Gypsy-Space Magic! So a Maser to them might be considered a Laser, word of God says it so...yeah, what was Games Workshop smoking?
