These are some of the movie clips I have found related with directed energy weapons. If you are interested in weapons or technology, these are some fantastic movie clips to enjoy with. I have been collecting these on my own and thought to share it with others. There were some systems that I could not find with any movie clips, which I will leave links of the articles related to those in my comment.

Appreciated.
P.S. They aren't actually even lasers, either.
Anything about Evgeniy Podkletnov's gravity beam weapon recently??
I don't think anything that fancy was ever involved in Podkletnov's experiments and the USAF and Boeing appear to have taken him seriously. The experiments involved rotating semiconductors. His beam weapon, if it is real, would produce a couple hundred pounds of impact on a target. That might make it the ultimate anti-katusha rocket weapon since that would probably deflect a katusha rocket into flyover country. It would not be a weapon to compete with or replace an 8" howitzer.
Fascinating. Bump for later reading on beam weapons.
