Lightning guns have been a fixture in Science Fiction for almost a century, but what you guys aren't seeing is what is most important. This technology is better suited to defense then it is offense, and it would be a powerful tool when it comes to diplomacy. This is one of those key technologies that could allow for a real missile defense shield. Just think about it electrons move faster then any missile, and they can seek out a missile even if it were somehow to be made stealthy. This would make for a truly outstanding defense, and actually take bullets out of adversaries guns.
Think about it the next time that North Korea runs a missile test. How much leverage will this weapon remove from them at the negotiating table. Having the bomb, and a missile to deliver it doesn't do you much good if it can be knocked out of the air thirty seconds after launch. If you can't use your biggest bargaining chip. Then what do you have left. In the long run weapons like these could make war obsolete. You can't hurt that which you are not able to touch.
Reagan just used the threat of advanced weapon systems to great effect. How much greater would the effect be if those same systems he dreamed of were made real and undeniable.
