- For the technology see Kinetic Weapons (Technology)
Kinetic weapons are one of the three weapon types used in Galactic Civilizations III. Generally consuming 
Durantium in their construction, beam weapons are by default short-range (+800 
Kinetic Range), low cooldown (+1 
Kinetic Cooldown) and low accuracy (+80% 
Kinetic Accuracy). Their defensive counter is armor.
