  2. Gravity gun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_gun

    It also includes a Physics Gun, a modified gravity gun which can position items and rag doll limbs as well as freeze them for constructing scenes or objects. In Subnautica, there is a weapon called the Propulsion Cannon that the developers jokingly called the Gravity Gun, allowing people to drag things closer and throw them great distances.

  3. Plasma-powered cannon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma-powered_cannon

    A plasma cannon (also called an electrothermal accelerator) is an experimental projectile weapon, which accelerates a projectile by means of a plasma discharge between electrodes at the rear of the barrel, generating a rapid increase in pressure.

  4. Physics of firearms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_firearms

    According to Newtonian mechanics, if the gun and shooter are at rest initially, the force on the bullet will be equal to that on the gun-shooter. This is due to Newton's third law of motion (For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction). Consider a system where the gun and shooter have a combined mass m g and the bullet has a mass m b.

  5. Gauss gun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_gun

    The Gauss gun (often called a Gauss rifle or Gauss cannon) is a device that uses permanent magnets and the physics of the Newton's cradle to accelerate a projectile. Gauss guns are distinct from and predate coil guns , although many works of science fiction (and occasionally educators [ 1 ] ) have confused the two.

  6. Stopping power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopping_power

    Stopping power is the ability of a weapon – typically a ranged weapon such as a firearm – to cause a target (human or animal) to be incapacitated or immobilized. Stopping power contrasts with lethality in that it pertains only to a weapon's ability to make the target cease action, regardless of whether or not death ultimately occurs.

  7. Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psi-Ops:_The_Mindgate...

    [1] [6] [31] [37] Psi-Ops was widely praised for its physics and its use of the Havok physics engine, [f] and critics overwhelmingly approved of the game's ragdoll physics, which appeared prominently in the game through the use of telekinesis against enemies. [g] Also praised was the use of the game's physics engine when objects are destroyed ...

  8. Stasis (fiction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasis_(fiction)

    In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the world of Aionios is in a state of constant stasis, referred to as "the endless now", as a result of Z taking control of Origin. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Stasis is one of the Runes Link can use. It allows him to freeze objects in suspended time and launch them by building up kinetic energy.

  9. Kinetic energy weapon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy_weapon

    Since in order to reach an object in orbit it is necessary to attain an extremely high velocity, their released kinetic energy alone is enough to destroy their target; explosives are not necessary. For example: the energy of TNT is 4.6 MJ/kg, and the energy of a kinetic kill vehicle with a closing speed of 10 km/s (22,000 mph) is 50 MJ/kg.
