[Capitan America: The First Avenger] So Hydra's tesseract powered weapons made things disappear... so are they weaponised teleporters?

The Space Stone can be used for generating power sure, but it also teleports the user if needed and the people being hit are disappearing a bit of blue gas that disappears, they aren't being blown up that's for sure (although those guns can blow stuff up no problem). Are they just being teleported somewhere random (which given the composition of the universe basically means floating somewhere in space)?

One of the ironies of the Tesseract was that when Humanity (Hydra) discovered it they suddenly obtained one of the most powerful artifacts in the universe.  Instead of understanding it though, all they saw was a neat little power source that they could siphon energy off of to charge batteries in disintegration rays.

Also note that the energy they were pulling off was relatively minor on the galactic or multiversal scale.  It was like discovering a functioning nuclear reactor in the forest, and only noticing that you could take a warm bath in the water coming out of the building's outflow pipe.
