The chamber which generates the energy is an inter-dimensional device which materializes energy from an alternative dimension. The power source, once initiated, is self-perpetuating and no ammunition or energy pods are required to sustain the fire power.

Their first attempt at this is the Disruptor Gun, a lightweight energy weapon powered by dimension chamber technology.

			Unusually for an X-Com game, the Disruptor Gun is not really an improvement in firepower over the weapons X-COM can buy in Mega-Primus; its damage per shot is respectable but not amazing, its rate of fire and accuracy are mediocre at best, and it counts as a two-handed weapon for the purpose of [[dual-wield]]ing. On the other hand, the Disruptor Gun is a quite convenient weapon for those uninterested in heavy micromanagement, as it's very light and doesn't require scarce ammunition (allowing standardisation of loadouts). In any case, the weapon should generally be researched with moderate priority, as unresearched artifacts cannot be sold in Apocalypse and the enormous quantities you'll loot from the aliens early on are worth a pretty penny; it's also a research prerequisite for the far more useful [[Devastator Cannon]] and [[X-COM Disruptor Armor]].

			Anthropods with this weapon are not especially dangerous except at point-blank range due to their laughably-bad accuracy, although [[Skeletoid]]s pose at least some threat.

			The aliens will eventually [[Alien Tech Levels (Apocalypse)\|phase out]] the Disruptor Gun as X-COM's tactical score grows ever-higher.

	The alien's first handheld offensive weapon. A simple, inaccurate, slow, rechargable, two-handed, beam weapon. Damage is slightly better than autocannon armor piercing rounds but with worse accuracy. As a basic weapon, the only advantage is that it recharges, removing the need to carry ammunition, making your agents lighter which is ideal for weak agents.
