Gravitic weapons are offensive manifestations of artificial gravity, tractor/pressor beam, or hypergravity technology.
Force Beams (TL10^)
These tightly focused pressor beams deliver a kinetic impact that can knock a person down or break bones. Unlike sonic stunners or electrolasers, they can affect targets in vacuum and inflict blunt trauma even through heavy armor. They're also favored by super-gadgeteers, since they're no more lethal than a powerful punch. Force beams inflict crushing damage with the double knockback modifier. The beams are silent and invisible.
Kinetic Stun Setting (TL10^)
Any force beam can fire a kinetic stun setting that spreads the beam over a wider impact point.
On "stun" the beam has no wounding effect (no HP are lost). It has its usual double knockback modifier, and can still inflict blunt trauma and knockback.
Force Beam Weapons
Force Beamer (TL10^): The ranged equivalent of brass knuckles. The impact of this palm-sized weapon's force beam feels like the kick of a mule.
Force Cannon (TL10^): A vehicle-mounted cannon intended to crack open vehicular armor. It's especially useful against unbalanced vehicles such as mecha.
Force Pistol (TL10^): A bulky gravity-beam handgun, favored for its impressive "stopping power." Its beam can hammer a man back 12 feet.
Force Rifle (TL10^): This weapon can stun an elephant or smash someone through a brick wall. This is a lethal weapon against foes without armor.
Heavy Force Cannon (TL10^): A force cannon suitable for mounting on ships.
Semi-Portable Force Beam (TL10^): This assault cannon is usually tripod- or vehicle-mounted, or carried by powered troopers. A human struck by its beam may be thrown back 50 feet, breaking every bone in his body.
