{{Description:Beam|
|text=An advancement on the [[Weapon:Particle beam|particle beam]], this weapon operates on the same general principles as an [[Weapon:Ion burster|Ion burster]], but - as the name suggests - fires a coherent beam of energy rather than a single bolt. The electric charge of ionised plasma makes it particularly easy to compress and fire using simple magnetics. Deceptively simple in design, these weapons' cost comes from the difficulty in making an ionised plasma that remains coherent after firing. In the last ten years, advances in this field have led to drastic drops in the accessibility of ion beam weapons, and to a market glut of cheap knockoff brands.

 {{Description:Beam|
 |text=Adding a bit more heft to the input stream than what is found in weapons termed [[Weapon:Particle beam|particle beams]], this weapon nonetheless operates on the same general principles. The electric charge of ionized plasma makes it particularly easy to compress and fire using simple magnetics. Deceptively simple in design, these weapons' cost comes from the inherent difficulty in making a stream of ionized plasma remain coherent ''after'' firing. In the last ten years, advances in this field have led to noted increases in the accessibility of ion beam weapons, and to a market glut of cheap knockoff brands.
