 Raygun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ray fired is stated in each scenario to be laser or particle beam or plasma, or some form of energy which does not exist in the real world, or is undefined.
A "beam gun" in anime is an energy weapon which fires a colored beam of light.
This would only happen with a particle beam gun, and then only if (muzzle velocity) times (weight of particles fired) comes to a value comparable to the same for a bullet-firing gun.

 Howstuffworks "How Space Wars Will Work"
A particle beam weapon would be able to generate power many times more destructive than any laser in development.
If a functional particle beam weapon could be built, it would use its power source to accelerate electrons, protons or hydrogen atoms through the tunnel, which would focus these charged particles into a beam that would be fired at the target.
The major obstacle in developing a functional particle beam weapon has been creating a power source that is light enough to put into space, but that can produce millions of electron volts of power and tens of megawatts of beam power.

 Third Generation Soviet Space Systems
Another approach was the use of neutral particle beam weapons, advocated by Gersh Budker at a secret institute in Novosibirsk.
Among these plans were the use of the Korolev MKBS space station as a platform for a neutral particle beam weapon and logistical support of a constellation of military interceptor vehicles.
The Mir-2 space station was to have utilised the capabilities of the Buran orbiter and Zarya and Progress M2 resupply spacecraft.

 PowerPedia:Nikola Tesla - PESWiki
He developed various devices that use rotating magnetic fields, the fundamental devices and systems of wireless communication (legal priority for the invention of radio), radio frequency oscillators, devices for voltage magnification by standing waves, robotics, devices for x-rays, and devices for ionized gases.
Tesla later developed devices for high field emission, devices for charged particle beams, methods for providing extremely low level of resistance to the passage of electrical current, means for increasing the intensity of electrical oscillations, voltage multiplication circuitry, devices for lightning protection, and the VTOL aircraft.
At the time of his death, Tesla had been working on some form of teleforce weapon, or death ray, the secrets of which he had offered to the United States War Department on the morning of 5 January.

The modern term for this is the bremsstrahlung process, in which a high-energy secondary X-ray emission is produced when charged particles (such as electrons) pass through matter.
Wardenclyffe also provides a basis for a current search for practical applications for focused wave and particle beams, such as the laser and maser.
Teleforce was a type of defensive particle-beam weapon that would provide protection from invasion by enemies approaching by sea or air.
