Long Description	Disruptors are very similar to phasors in most respects. We have been testing disruptors for ground-based combat for quite awhile and because they did not do as well as phasors, we didn't pursue it very aggressively. However, as a space based weapon, disruptors are somewhat more effective than phasors. Phasors are energy efficient. They are the weapon of elegance. Disruptors are more of a brute force weapon. In battles in space, brute force has an elegance of its own.
