What is the difference between a pulsed particle weapon and a beam particle weapon?
I'm considering adding a particle based weapon within my setting. It would be used in atmosphere and utilise [electrons] (http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/sidearmenergy.php#id--Particle_Beam) for the beam.
What i'm wondering is, what, if any, difference is their between a pulse and beam?
I looked around for information of the comparison and haven't found any.
EDIT: some clarification. When I refer to a pulse, I'm deriving my thinking from the principal of a pulsed laser compared to a beam laser. What I'm wondering is if there is any differences between pulsed and beam particle weapons as observed in lasers. Of course article weapons are different than lasers, but I hope I got the idea across.
