I once saw a situation (luckily, NOT in a game I participated in)
where the players had "ready boxes" for every law level. "Break out the
number 5 box, I'll have 3 units of ammunition." was a remark heard from
time to time. These people solved elmost everything out of the blazing
plasma barrel.

Can it be "tied" to a pistol or rifle - a laser sight? Doubtful, but
possible. What is the duration of the AAAA batteries for that pen? It
certainly cannot be used as a designator. As for demonstrators - a REAL,
third generation, laser beam sight (made in Israel by El-Op) costs about
$250, is about 6.5 centimeters long and 1 centimeter in diameter. It is
mountable on a pistol with ease, beside, above or under the barrel, and
can withstand recoil...
