This subject matter is starting to make news. Directed energy or DEW technology developed by defense contractors is becoming more sophisticated and is covertly being used against American citizens. If all the news and controversy about the militarization of the police and police shootings isn't bad enough now American citizens are facing this sort of oppression.
Two notable cases involve what the Department of Homeland Security has termed "active shooters.'

Types of Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs)
nawewtech.angelfire.com/dew.html
Particle beam weapons fire streams of quick-moving projectiles, and only really differ from rifles use a quintillionth of the ammo, and about the same proportion of energy.
Particle cannons fire streams of super-accelerated bullets, except they use atoms and small molecules for bullets, and particle accelerators for gunpower.

Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon (EMP)
- Boeing Phantom Works (2015)
05/25/2015 - Air Force confirms electromagnetic pulse weapon - CNN.com
"This technology marks a new era in modern-day warfare," said Keith Coleman, CHAMP program manager for Boeing Phantom Works. "In the near future, this technology may be used to render an enemy's electronic and data systems useless even before the first troops or aircraft arrive." Latest News Update The website Foxtrot Alpha reported that a similar weapon had been secretly used by the United States in Libya, destroying the electronics in vehicles that left them inoperable. Coleman told CNN that past testing proved quite promising. "We hit every target we ever wanted," Coleman said. "We prosecuted every one. We've made science fiction, science fact." Lulu Chang of Digital Trends said the ability to destroy the enemy weapons without collateral damage makes the weapon desirable for the military. "Indeed, it is this capacity to target individual buildings and not cities at large that makes the new weapon so effective, as it would allow military members to cut off electricity supplies to enemy parties while keeping civilians out of the melee," Chang wrote.

Definitions:
Cathode ray tube: a beam of electrons emitted from the cathode of a high-vacuum tube, not considered dangerous to much more than retinas, used chiefly in televisions and computer terminals.
Chemical lasers = requires (a potentially caustic) fuel source.
- Agil (All gas-phase iodine laser),

DE = Directed energy. Also termed DE Systems.
Free-electron laser (FEL) = A FEL uses superconducting electron accelerators to produce high-power laser beams. FEL operators can adjust the laser's wavelength by adjusting the energy of the electrons in the accelerator, something conventional lasers can't do. This allows them to be used on ships without suffering disturbances from the water vapor-rich environment. FEL is less developed than solid-state. Requires a lot of shielding space because the laser produces X-ray radiation.
Electrolasers = use a light beam to direct a pulse of raw energy.
Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) = are waves of energy that are generally non-lethal and well suited to scrambling electronics. The power required for a large EM pulse has been associated with nuclear weapons.
Gyrotron = a type of microwave generator employing cyclotron resonance coupling between microwave fields and a beam of electrons. Used in Raytheon's Active Denial System." JNLWD would like is a fall smaller contraption to accomplish the same goal. Replacing the enormous, super-cooled “gyrotron” with solid-state electronics."
High Energy/Power Laser = High powered lasers used by the military to shoot down targets. Current power levels somewhere in the 10 to 30 kilowatts range.
Laser = is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Lasing medium: causes electrons in the medium to reach a specific exited state, and to interact with electromagnetic waves so as to give the wave that extra, exciting energy.
Light gun: are traditinal lasers, along with their slight variations like microwave lasers (masers).
Maser = Micorwave range laser. Example: Raytheon's Active Denial System (ADS), Silent Guardian (2001).
- Microwave emitters = Are large and short-range. When microwave radiation is charged it will interact with other charged particles or parts of particles imparting some energy to them.
- Microwave radiation = low-energy light or an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength in the range 0.001–0.3 m, shorter than that of a normal radio wave but longer than those of infrared radiation.
Particle accelerator: is a device that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to high speeds and to contain them in well-defined beams. Particle accelerator accelerators can be linear or circular (cyclotron), but the circular kind will almost certainly be the future, since they can give us a path-length for acceleration that increases by as many trips around the loop as we’re willing to take.
Particle beam weapons (PBWs) = fire streams of quick-moving projectiles, and only really differ from rifles use a quintillionth of the ammo, and about the same proportion of energy.
Particle cannons = fire streams of super-accelerated bullets except that it uses atoms and small molecules for bullets, and particle accelerators for gunpower.
- ions = charged particles
- ion (particle) accelerators = ions are easy to accelerate using basic magnetic repulsion.
- neutralizing gas chambers = maintains a focused beam of neutral particles that are quite happy to be packed into a small space together.
Particle thrower = are particle beams. Particle beams only travel near the speed of light.
Plasma channel = Turns air to plasma. It can send send all kinds of volts into a target. Example: high-powered laser.
Pump = to power up a lasing medium. It boils down to finding a way of getting enough electrons in the medium exited in the desired way. Electricity is the simplest pumping technique. Others are chemically-induced laser pumping, and free electron beams.
RF (Radio Frequency) DEW = RF directed energy weapon. See: Maser.
Slab laser = combined beam of 105 kilowats.
Spontaneous emission = an excited atom in isolation can return to a lower energy state by emitting photons and sets the scale for all radioactive interactions, such as absorption and stimulated emission.
Solid-state laser or solid lasing = Laser's that use solid-state electronics not chemical.
Stimulated emission = is the power of incoming radiation amplified. This is the physical basis of light amplification in laser amplifiers and laser oscillators.
