Theoretically speaking, what kind of kickback could energy weapons have?

Asked by KatawaGrey (21483points) August 25th, 2011

I am sitting here watching Stargate and they use a fair number of energy weapons in the show. These are not necessarily “lasers” but they do use bolts of energy instead of bullets. Kickback or recoil is never obvious, but the people using them are also trained in their usage in the context of the show. So, to my sci-fi geeks out there, would you say that energy weapons have a kickback? If so, how much? Would you think it’s worse than kickback from a projectile weapon?
