They don't called them "laserbeams" any longer. The new nomenclature is "directed energy weapons". There is quite a bit of effort going into weapons systems along these lines. I worked on two of these programs.

Where I used to work we had a couple of DARPA programs and one program that no one even knew the name of it - it was just called "the proprietary program".

As for the sonic weapon - they demonstrated that to a guy on NPR one day. He folded like a house of cards...
