Beam Weapons for Vehicles and Robots

This pages lists numerous Beam Weapons developed using the rules in GURPS Vehicles, 2d. ed.  Due to the complexity of the calculations involved, we provide much of the "raw data" used to develop the weapons so that you can double-check our calculations if you want.  Please report any errors to morpheus_unbound@patric.net so that we can get them corrected.

Notes about printing this page:  We've found that only AOLPress will print this page without cutting off some of the far right hand columns.  We've designed these tables so that the information in these cells is not necessary for play; we included it for information purposes only.  AOLPress is a free web site development tool, and you can find it at http://www.aolpress.com.

Take note of the range modifiers on page VE126 for beam weapons in a vacuum or trace atmosphere.
