What future weapons did you make up or got from your favorite science fiction novels?

So we are talking about a 50m/s impulse here. What does this do that a large explosive doesn't?


More like 500m/sec and it bypasses armor and shields.  An explosive charge usually pushes the target up or around, the gravity mine hammers it flat against the ground.  Different direction of action.

The direction of action is only apparent from an external frame of reference.
Plus, if you can pack something like that into a usable mine, then couldn't you equally fit some kind or isolating or damping device into your vehicles and personal equipment? As a side benefit it would also reduce the weight of your personal kit.
The effects on the local atmosphere would be fairly dramatic as well.

It's a bit more than that.  Stand in the middle of a room and have a friend push you six inches -- no big deal is it.  Now lie down and have him push you six inches into the ground, he might need to rent a pile driver to do it -- as they say, that's got to hurt.  That's what the difference in direction does.
 
As for defenses, any shield that could stop it would also stop gravity.  So yes, there could be all those other advantages.  But it will have to be a power hungry monster to avoid creating perpetual energy paradox's.
 
As for a direct counter system, the effects on the target would then become the vector sum of the to fields, possibly with some shearing effect if all parts of the target are not effected uniformly.  Such a system would probably reduce the damage done by a significant amount, the question is can it reduce a catastrophic kill to a mission kill or less.

In one instance, you accelerate a localised target down into the ground. In the other, you accelerate a localised section of the ground up into the target. Structurally speaking the forces involved are identical.

Depending on what the tech level allows, you would either be protected (inertially damped) or you would mitigate the attack to a degree (apply gravity in a different direction momentarily) How well you mitigate is a control issue.

It scores a reasonably high cool factor, but it cannot exist in isolation (unless, of course, you are fighting between technology levels). What other weaponry would be possible with gravity control?

Finally, if I have enough energy to create my own gravity, why not use that stored energy to make a great big explosion?

take an uzi for example when you shoot it the kick from the gun pushes somthing back in it and lets the next bullet come up via a spring in a magazine the same principle for my shot gun take this picture of it only it has no magazine in it

The one thing all troops would agree on for future weapons is weight. You want to help all the troops reduce the weight that they have to carry. You look at weapons, But to me each trooper is a weapon system. Fancy weapons are one thing but you still have to haul it around. Lasers look good on tv not sure how useful in real,life they would be.
