I had wondered the same thing when I sat down to make a couple of Junker items
for the first time.  I ended up making a Soul Blaster that just converted
Spirit Battery energy to blast of magic energy which looks like the Soul Blast
Hex (the hex I use most in Deadlands).  For a laser I had a couple of Ideas
for the ammo.  My favorite was quartz crystals which the junker would have to
salvage to focus the laser and which would burn out after around 100 shots. Or
you could say he needs a small light bulb in the laser which provides the
light which the spirit battery amplifies into a laser.  This light bulb could
also burn out after a certain number of shots. Hope these help
