|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. This is not one of those.

A variant of the somewhat more common Ion Beam, these weapons utilizes heavier ions, such as xenon. Heavier ions are more difficult to accelerate to the desired exit velocities, but do not suffer nearly as much from electro-static bloom effects as their lighter counterparts.
