Well, to blind enemy with a powerfull light is not something new: it was used in WW II. Yes, laser can be used as "blindness weapon", but to use it effectively one has to know where the enemy ship's command center is and that at the very moment some hihgh ranking official is overlooking...

Well, "Star wars" franchise ("Tie fighter", "X-wing", "X-wings vs Tie-fighter"...) had proton torpedoes and even some photon (some heavy missile), they weren't in the original movie. The simpliesti missile in Star Wars games was "conclusion missile", supposed to be nuclear. Later - "proton...

Thanks for advice - will search how to obtain "Space weapons". One more unwise question: what about gravitons. Wikipedia tells: "In physics, the graviton is a hypothetical elementary particle that mediates the force of gravitation in the framework of quantum field theory." So - were the creators...

Well, I mean big distance (kilometres, or even thousands of them) and cutting, say, a part of well armoured battleship. Is it possible that hostile battleship A is approaching US border and they have a megacanon on the shore - and just cut that ship into 2 parts by one shot? Energy consumption...

Thanks for the link. Laser Avenger was the most usefull item there (not speaking about Israeli battle robot with 2 machine guns: not GDI walking tanks, but still...). ...and what about the laser cutting?

Well, the laser may be used as a "cut" weapon: think about "star wars" blasters, used by clone/storm troopers, not that fictional star destroyers' big greenish rays that travels too slow. While I can admit that laser colour may be corrected - the Big Ray would just make a hole, not blow up...

What about "proton torpedoes" (from Star wars), explained as "torpedoes with photon warheads"? They managed to use missiles (nuclear?), then - proton torpedoes. SOme writer even invented "proton grenades", little enough and still devastating. In this forum I have read ion cannon cannot be...

Hi all. Sorry if I am posting in a wrong section as I am new there and di not figure it out where my post belongs to. I would like to ask about energy weapons in fiction and reality. We have movies, video games, novels where lots of weapons (of different designs) are used. As far as I...
