Actually weapon damage in 4e wouldn't be that bad compared to previous editions. I expect under 4e that exploding dice would be out so a laser gun might only do d10, d12, 2d8, or 2d10 for base damage. Granted at level 30 an attack doing 7W could actually do 14d8 or 14d10 but to be honest 2d8/2d10 would probably be ship rated guns.
