IIRC:<BR/><BR/>A general problem or countermeasure with any kind of *beam weapon* is that they can be readily dispersed by all manner of interference. <BR/><BR/>You can see that right in this posted photo with the forked lightning bolts.<BR/><BR/>Sooo, some clever person thought of shooting a much lower powered ionizing beam just a *short period of time* before the main beam. In this particular case, it generated a pathway of lower resistance between the weapon and the target.<BR/><BR/>Sort of like getting your victim to stand in salt water just before you hand them the electrical appliance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
