The Neutra-Laser is a directed-energy weapon used on New Texas.
Marshal BraveStarr has one, although he only resorts to using it as a last resort since he generally dislikes all forms of lethal force including firearms. BraveStarr prefers using his spirit animal powers to incapacitate and arrest villains. However where this is not possible and there is a threat to life he will resort to using his gun, and even then it is only usually to shoot a weapon out of a criminal's hand.
Tex Hex has his own version of the Neutra-Laser which he calls the Hex Maker.
Background[]
It can shoot a powerful blast and also has a freeze ray.

BraveStarr caught both weapons with one hand and crushed them. Two masked 'Prairie People' took potshots at Judge J.B. as well as BraveStarr using Neutra-Lasers. Tex Hex fired his Neutra-Laser at Judge J.B. when he pursued her on his Skull Walker. He equipped his Neutra-Laser with a 'special Hex-load' to reanimate the bones of a dead Broncosaur. Zeke and Fred got themselves new weapons and together with Billy-Bob traveled to the Prairie People Reservation and aimed their Lasers at them. But once more, BraveStarr was there to shoot the lasters out of the prospector's hands with his own weapon. The men became nervous when Deputy Fuzz cocked a Neutra-Laser of his own, but he used it to uncover a mountain full of Kerium, making the prospectors ecstatic with joy.
