👉 A projection weapon, also known as a directed energy weapon (DEW), is a type of non-lethal weapon that uses focused energy to incapacitate or damage targets. These weapons emit high-powered beams of light, such as lasers, or use other forms of energy like microwaves or radio frequency waves to create a harmful effect on the human body. When directed at a target, the energy can cause severe pain, burns, or even temporary incapacitation, making it a valuable tool for self-defense, law enforcement, and military applications. Unlike traditional weapons that cause physical harm, projection weapons aim to neutralize threats without leaving lasting injuries, thus providing a safer alternative for de-escalating dangerous situations.
