2. Plasma-powered cannon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma-powered_cannon

   Even a small plasma cannon with only the firepower of an air gun weighs about 20 kg (44 lb) (without current supply). A foot soldier thus could not carry a plasma cannon powerful enough to be useful. It would have to be mounted in a stationary position or on a vehicle. It would be impossible for a soldier to carry a plasma cannon with the ...

3. Antimatter weapon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter_weapon

   An antimatter weapon is a theoretically possible device using antimatter as a power source, a propellant, or an explosive for a weapon.Antimatter weapons are currently too costly and unreliable to be viable in warfare, as producing antimatter is enormously expensive (estimated at US$6 billion for every 100 nanograms), the quantities of antimatter generated are very small, and current ...

4. Magnetic weapon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_weapon

   A magnetic weapon is one that uses magnetic fields to accelerate or stop projectiles, or to focus charged particle beams. There are many hypothesized magnetic weapons, such as the railgun and coilgun which accelerate a magnetic (in the case of railguns; non-magnetic) mass to a high velocity, or ion cannons and plasma cannons which focus and direct charged particles using magnetic fields.

5. Particle-beam weapon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle-beam_weapon

   A particle-beam weapon uses a high-energy beam of atomic or subatomic particles to damage the target by disrupting its atomic and/or molecular structure. A particle-beam weapon is a type of space-based directed-energy weapon, which directs focused energy toward a target using atomic scale particles.

6. Plasma cannon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cannon

   Plasma cannon may refer to: Plasma weapon, a type of directed-energy weapon that fires a beam, bolt, or stream of plasma; Plasma railgun, a linear accelerator which ...

7. Electrothermal-chemical technology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrothermal-chemical...

   It is possible that electrothermal-chemical gun propulsion will be an integral part of US Army's future combat system and those of other countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom. Electrothermal-chemical technology is part of a broad research and development program that encompasses all electric gun technology, such as railguns and coil ...

8. Player versus player - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_versus_player

   PvP is often controversial when used in role-playing games. In most cases, there are vast differences in abilities between players. PvP can even encourage experienced players to immediately attack and kill inexperienced players. [3] PvP is often referred to as player killing in the cases of games which contain, but do not focus on, such ...

9. Hypersonic weapon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_weapon

   The Silbervogel was the first design for a hypersonic weapon and was developed by German scientists in the 1930s, but was never constructed. [6]The ASALM (Advanced Strategic Air-Launched Missile) was a medium-range strategic missile program developed in the late 1970s for the United States Air Force; the missile's development reached the stage of propulsion-system testing, test-flown to Mach 5 ...
