Ray Gun - Real-world Development

Real-world Development

• Radar is the result of attempts to develop rayguns before WWII
• CBS in their show 60 minutes showed a real weapon described as a raygun. This video of it shows that it is most likely the Active Denial System.
• Recent real developments of laser guns have produced artillery-sized weapons which might be described as rayguns, but usually are not.
• See electrolaser for an electric current sent through a laser beam.
• See Directed-energy weapon for various real weapons which are more or less like rayguns.
• See Directed-energy weapon#Tesla for reports that Tesla made a real directed-energy weapon.
