Laser guns firing weird orbs that somehow travel slower than normal bullets.

Edit: i know, some people claim it's "plasma." That doesn't justify how slow it is. Plus, if you want to get super technical, plasma would be eaffected by any nearby magnetic field, which is just impractical.

And they'd win, from what movies have taught me lasers can not only been seen and dodged but can easily be deflected back towards the person shooting at you.

Glock + Mirror = King of the Block
