Recall that these "standard lasers" were outputting about as much energy during the Namek Saga as Saiyan Saga Vegeta was able to throw out with a normal ki blast. The only difference between Vegeta and the standard Frieza Soldiers in that first DBZ arc was he didn't need a device to shoot and could amp his power for bigger attacks (eg the Galick Gun).

It's not unreasonable to assume that their tech has advanced in the 20 some odd in-universe years between the Namek Saga and Resurrection F.

Aside, I've always found it interesting that by the time DB Super came around, the Dragonball timeline matches up with our own in terms of how many years have passed since the start of OG Dragonball.
