Disintegrators rely upon a powerful sonic wave that can shatter armor and smash enemy equipment with severe vibrations. In vacuum, the sonic waves are cleverly encased in a short-duration magnetic shell that stretches to reach an enemy ship. The end of the beam that strikes the target is opened, allowing all of the sonic energy to be dispersed against its outer hull. In atmosphere and the usual planetary magnetic field, the containment field is relaxed somewhat to increase accuracy. Type B Disintegrators are an improvement on the old Type A Disintegrator technology. As usual, they do not stun enemy crewmembers, but instead smash them into pulp. The intensity of the beam is such that hull armor is often atomized at the point of impact, effectively ""disintegrating"" the targeted ship section and causing much consternation to the aliens stationed nearby.... This is a very powerful weapon which often rattles gunners manning the thing as a result of severe sonic vibrations emanating from the disintegration chamber.
