Depends on the market and technological progress. 40 years ago, a 
Laser, any Laser, was a Nobel-price-worthy invention. Nowadays 
everybody has and uses Lasers - your CD player has one, there are Laser 
pointers, Laser Lightshows etc. 

A mass-produced Laser rifle plus charger might well be cheaper than a 
rifle and ammunition once the technology is mature.
