===Van de Graaff (VDG) Pistol===
===Wireless mid-range taser===
The name and technological background should probably be replaced inside the story by [[wp:Electrolaser|electrolaser]] versions. (laser-induced plasma channel)
The WCG weapon manufactures discontinued VDG pistols in favor of compressed graphite powder based tasers. The conducting graphite gets synthesized in the post-firing phase to ready the next round.  


===Electrolaser===
The WCG experimented with [[wp:Electrolaser|electrolasers]] to secure facilities against lightning strikes. A laser-induced plasma channel takes the lightning to the ground at a secure place.
This technology cannot be used for normal hand-held weapons as both start and end point are at danger and the usage depends on the weather. Also, creating a laser-induced plasma channel require huge amount of energy in the first place.
'''Lightning thrower'''
At GV the rebels created a mech with two LIPC fire modes. In both cases the mech functions as a mobile relay station.
* GV fusion reactor can be used to power the mech's LIPC and the additionally applied current.
* In the second mode, the mech creates two LIPC to first trigger a lightning strike and then reroutes the energy with a second LIPC to enemy forces.
