The limiting factor for handheld versions of either is simply energy storage. Both take an incredible amount of electrical energy that must be released in a very short amount of time. That, and you might want more than one shot. Once battery/capacitor technology catches up, it should be pretty easy to package something in a rifle-type form factor.
Wasn't there a post on here a while back of a kid building a Gauss Gun at home?
