Are laserbeams guns?

Good question. Let's start from Ogre. This weapon in the game is not actual laser-based guns. Instead, this weapon fires a blue laser beam. From its description:

"Firing a large laser beam from your weapon, you destroy structures by dissolving their shielding."

I'm not going to try to give you a step-by-step overview of how the weapon works, but lets do just that. If you want to learn more about the Ray Gun, see its page on GOG Galaxy and Twitter. If you want to see something different, check out Gnomia's website and FireFall's homepage.

Each laserbeam only fires one shot at a time, but can maintain a fire target for a total of 6 seconds. The laser beam remains active for the duration of the shield, but will not dissipate once the beam is focused.

TIP: While charging a laser (laser dot on-screen), use + > (alternate fire button) to deflect enemy projectiles back at the enemy.

This differs from a gun in that it uses lasers, rather than heat or a particle beam, to deal damage. So I would argue that this is not a gun, and is instead a laser device (i.e. anything with lasers).I also can't imagine how this could be added to the gun category given the new point systems.
