[QUOTE="DaveC426913, post: 6379611, member: 15808"] Those would self-annihilate in a lethal burst of gamma radiation.Question: Is there some reason it needs to be scientifically accurate? How about just go for plausibility? By definition, your weapon uses fictional physics - why would the effect be less fictional? Author Larry Niven has a device called a Slaver Digger. It has two barrels: one fires a beam that suppresses the +ive charge of protons, causing atoms to tear themselves to pieces - the other fires a beam that suppresses -ive charge of electrons, with similar effect. Don't pull both triggers at the time though - or you get current flow. That's all the explanation he gives. [B]How[/B] it works is outside the scope pf the story (not to mention outside the scope of current science). [/QUOTE]
