Gravitational Beam Emitter
- Gravitational Beam Emitter
The Gravitational Beam Emitter is a fictional gun used by Killy in the manga series "Blame!" and "NOiSE" by Tsutomu Nihei. It is also known as the Graviton Beam Emitter or the Graviton Radiation Projector.
Killy doesn't recall the origin of the weapon, though it is the only perfected GBE that can sustain such a high output for long periods. The weapon fires a highly condensed energy beam, which can repel beams from other weapons (seen in the Corporation against the Guardians).
The weapon draws its power directly from the user, meaning it has unlimited ammo so long as the user has power. Inside Toha Heavy Industries, where the Safeguard aren't allowed access, Ivy (one of the Silicon Creatures) states that 'the weapons of the Safeguard are disabled', so the GBE is not permitted to work. This also happens in the alternate universe inside the Gravity Furnace. Later, when Killy meets Dhomochevsky, Iko manages to stop the power of the GBE for a split second, giving Dhomochevsky an advantage in firing his own weapon. Iko calls the GBE a 'Class 1 Critical Effect Weapon'.
Whenever Killy loses the weapon, he always makes a point of getting it back. In addition, he refuses to let anyone else fire the GBE. The weapon is extremely resistant to external damage, to the point of being able to survive submerging in a lava flow (following the destruction of Davine Lu Linvega's NetSphere connection point).
GBE's is the only known weapon capable of penetrating the solid layers between levels of the Megastructure. There is no known way of stopping the beam, although there are several known instances where GBE shots have been deflected through varying means.
Levels of power
There were 5 distinct 'levels' of power.
Level 0
Level 4

Similar weapons are used by certain Safeguards - the giant Safeguard has one built into its mouth, and Sanakan has one built in her right arm. When working for the Governing Agency, she has her own weapon very similar to Killy's, except physically larger.
