Energy-Directed Repulsor Rifles

A specialized variant of the repulsor rifle that uses electromagnetic fields or microwave pressure waves to push targets, rather than particle beams. Energy‑directed repulsors are often called “shove guns” or “crowd clearers.” They are non‑lethal in principle (though flying into a wall can still hurt). They excel at riot control, boarding actions, and moving heavy objects without touching them. The effect is a visible ripple in the air, followed by a loud thump and everything in the cone being flung backward.

Energy-Directed Repulsor Rifles Example: “He aimed the energy‑directed repulsor at the advancing mob. A wave of pressure knocked the front rank off their feet. The rest hesitated. That hesitation was enough for the police to form a line.”
