Energy-Directed SMGs

A compact, high‑rate‑of‑fire directed‑energy weapon that uses focused light or microwaves. Energy‑directed SMGs are tiny – sometimes built into gloves or wrist mounts – and excel at disabling electronics, blinding sensors, and delivering painful but non‑lethal shocks. They are favorites of spies, hackers, and anyone who expects a fight in a server room. The beam is invisible, but the target’s sudden scream is not.

Energy-Directed SMGs Example: “He raised his wrist, and a flicker of invisible light hit the guard’s radio. The guard heard only static. A second flicker hit his belt – his taser sparked and died. He never saw what hit him.”
