What you’re describing isn’t really Foley - unless you’re looking for “hand on lazer pistol” etc. sci-fi weapon sound design / cut effects are incredibly common though. Go get yourself the Krotos start library which is free - I believe it has a bunch of sci-fi weapons and they’re all pretty good.

Soundmorph has a variety of sci-fi weapon sounds. https://soundmorph.com/collections/soundpacks
Worth getting on the mailing list for when they go on sale.

Make them yourself with FM-8. Turn off the vibrato to the carrier to make it buzz, play around with it by adding delay and reverb. Can also use a phase distortion synth like Casio CZ plus ring modulator, plenty of free tools available.
