Particle beam weapons are advanced military technologies that use focused streams of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, to damage or destroy targets. These beams can travel at high speeds and deliver energy over long distances, making them potentially effective for both defensive and offensive operations.
Unlike traditional firearms, which rely on explosive projectiles, particle beam weapons operate by transferring energy directly to the target. This can cause physical damage or disrupt electronic systems. Research and development in this field continue, with various nations exploring their potential applications in modern warfare and defense systems.
