Yeah, that's your problem
No one's going to use those hand-held explosives in a military purpose, dude. They fuckin explode at the presence of oxygen.
Magnesium, Flouride, and Ammonia are currently on the way to overtake it because it is more stable and not so dangerous
Magnesium battery is expected to replace it as it has energy density per unit mass of 42.3 MJ/kg and volumetric density of 22.569 GJ/m3.
It's half the mass at +50% the charge.

Truth be told, I kinda don't like chemical batteries. I am actually going in favor of retrobatteries because they are environmentally friendly. NASA is currently researching the flywheel battery because it is so efficient in storing energy - a full 90% round-trip efficiency. Perfect for Spaceshits

And mind you, gunpowder and smokeless powder are 2 different things. We don't use gunpowder anymore. The main ingredient of smokeless power is nitroglycerine that stabilized by cotton that was mixed with citric acid or something.

That said, a single operation requires a tantamount amount of stockpiled ammunition that is extremely prone to cooking off. And while they have more energy, bullets also have more mass whereas lasers are mass-less. In the long run, rechargable batteries would over take it - batteries that can also double as emergency power for other gadgets and necessary tools

Don't get me wrong, I love guns. But my point is that lasers are just not something you should underestimate.
It does not make light,
does not make a sound,
fastest weapon possible,
no chance of missing,
and massive efficiency

And to make it all better, please understand that laser under infrared does not penetrate water.
Which means that should a powerful laser hit a man, that man would actually explode due to the accumulated heat and pressure under his skin.

Listen to yourself speaking, dude
You want an infantry-held fuel power generator. If it's vehicle-mounted, sure. But that is gonna be soooo hot.
