Beam weapons on Golarion

Like much of Golarion's advanced technology, many beam weapons are remnants of the Rain of Stars that brought technology of extraplanetary origin crashing into the world. Some of these weapons include:

• Arc pistols and rifles that fire electricity beams
• Laser pistols, rifles, torches, and x-lasers, all burning weapons that emit intensely focused light
• Death rays, which fire beams of biologically devastating nanites
• EMP pistols and rifles capable of disrupting robots, androids, and other electrical devices and creatures, but not living creatures
• Gravity pistols and rifles, which can fire beams of gravity-manipulating gravitons
• Sonic pistols and rifles capable of emitting powerful sound waves
• Nuclear resonators, powerful sonic weapons that can be attuned to specific molecular structures
• Zero pistols and rifles, guns that fire rays of supercooled particles
