yes

@Vroooooom
I can only assume you were in a bad mood when you made this worst nitpick ever.
There are a lot of different types of energy, including mechanical, electric, magnetic, gravitational, chemical, ionic, nuclear, radiant, thermal, and so on. Not only is energy a "thing," it is many different things. If the energy gun shoots electricity, it is a product of electrical energy being discharged. If it is a laser weapon, it is using electromagnetic energy. It's an energy gun either way.
"So do bullets."
Jesus.

Also, I forgot to mention the fact that, the energy word is used almost everywhere, regardless of energy wherever or not being given the wrong term.

...Good point, but I was running out of names so I just used the Energy Gun title.

I see what you are talking about.

"energy shot by the energy gun will reach the target instantly" so do bullets
ballistics werent really a thing in video games back in 2004

also: define "energy"
energy is a force applied over a distance (ever heard of W=FxS?)
energy is not a "thing"

This is awesome
