could make a shoulder mounted laser that would kill, you wouldn't see it mind! but there are lasers now that can burn holes in steel, which is a damn sight stronger than human flesh, so that isn't too far fetched! the biggest problem is an effective source of power for the laser, that is portable. that is the only problem with most electromagnetic weapons, rail-guns for example are simple, they work but they need large amounts of power, something a couple of AA batteries can't provide it would seem!
and back to teleporation, scanning is only half the problem! the thing I was getting at is the whole concept of a 'soul', like your very essence of existence. like, you can replicate the exact circumstances that existed in your brain, but can you replicate the exact events, the exact chemical and electrical activity. to be honest its more of a 'what do you think?' question rather than a question of technical merit, another thing that comes with teleporters is replicators, make one and you effectively have the other!
