Why do they have powerful lasers to kill anything living in the Red Queen chamber? Why do they not have any other weapons to kill?

The laser-grid killed everyone who tried to get through the hallway while it was active. A 100% kill rate is plenty effective. One might argue that the Red Queen's overall system security may not be broad enough, but the lasers did their job just fine.– phantom42Oct 16, 2013 at 12:20

The laser grid was a fail safe defense only activated after they hacked her primary defenses.
There is a line in which Caplin says:
Caplin: Some kind of dormant defense mechanism. Opening the door tripped it.
Resident Evil
It wasn't the only defense, just the only one they didn't bypass, hence the only one we get to see.
