UE5 Chargeable Laser Rifle Tutorial | Beam Firing + Impact FX (Part 2)

Part 2 of the Chargeable Laser Rifle series — now we’re finishing the weapon.
In this episode we’ll build the firing logic, create the continuous laser beam, add impact effects, and polish everything so the weapon feels complete.
We’ll continue expanding Epic’s FREE Niagara VFX sample project while staying inside their existing weapon framework so the system stays modular and easy to extend.
