If my high school knowledge of physics holds up there are, at the basic level, three types of weapons:1. Matter Projectors - bullets, slugs, flechettes, etc...2. Particle Projectors - electrons, neutrons, protons, plasma, etc... (really just very small matter projectors)3. Wave Form Projectors - laser, maser, sonic, etc...After the basics things get complicated because one can become or carry another. Or be mixed together. Then theirs the weird ones like gravity weapons where we don't even know enough to be able to place them in a group. In reference to the Sten novels I also highly recommend the Matador novels by Steve Perry. Some very interesting weapons and toys in that series too.Hmmm.... I just had a really twisted thought. If you could fire particles could you not also project molecules? Fire a molecular stream of Cynide into your opponent. Or an atomic stream of Sodium? Ick, that would be messy.Jack</blockquote>
