If 40k laser weapons was invented all of a sudden, how would they change modern warfare? For example, let say every ISIS-member gets equipped with laser rifler, would counter-jihad forces be fucked?

The primary advantage of lasguns isn't killing-power, but logistics. They are cheap, require no ammunition, and little maintenance. It wouldn't single-handedly decide a war, but it would be very nice.

Ultimately, small arms aren't anywhere near as important as they were.
Sure, they've got a small logistical and man on man lethality advantage, but they still don't have anything else that their serious threats have.
A lasgun isn't gonna stop them from getting bombed to fuck. In fact, giving jihadis lasguns is probably gonna result in them getting bombed out of existence almost immediately.

Can lasriflers penetrate modern kevlar?
Would las cannons function as anti air?
Anthony Phillips
I bet you if they would create such an issue in blue states because you can't ban ammunition as easily.
Luke Young
A las cannon still isn't gonna stop a cruise missile or a jet you don't have radar to see.
Elijah Martinez
No, if every isis member got a lasgun our troops would have tans.

Seeing as they can now kill a Leman Russ possibly.

It's hard to say, given the crazy materials thrown around in 40k. As far as the game goes, Lasguns have no modifier for armor-penetration, even being stopped by the light armor you see bog-standard conscripts using. I'd imagine Kevlar might still be useful against it, but can't say for certain.
Austin Scott
In previous editions of 40K, lasguns and autoguns had the same stats, with autoguns being roughly equivalent to modern assault rifles.
So expect a single pulse of a lasgun to do as much damage as a round from an assault rifle.
