Well... we do have lasers, they just aren't what your thinking of from sci-fi. But soon(TM).

Kind of makes you wonder why you don't see any lasers in vanilla ArmA 3 since it takes place in 2035.  I think in any case vehicle mounted lasers would be few and far between.

Well I would say it is because it is a very recent development and there probably wasn't much info the devs had access to that they could use to make a 'realistic' version of for ingame. But hey.. who knows.. DLC maybe? XD lol

This Microwave Laser System (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System) that cooks you from the inside out is almost 10 years old, was deployed in Afghanistan, and the LAPD is looking into acquiring a few for riot control in prisons.
