A conversion beam projector, often called a "conversion beamer" or simply a "beamer", is a heavy energy weapon.
转换光束投射器，通常称为“转换光束枪”或简称为“光束枪”，是一种重型能量武器。
Overview 概述
The conversion beamer fires a high intensity energy beam which transforms matter into pure energy. A heavily armoured target or dense material will be rent apart as its matter explodes. The denser the material of the target the more matter is hit and hence the more energy is produced, making conversion beamers particularly good against heavily armoured troops, vehicles, and buildings. The intensity of the beam typically increases as it extends further from the weapon due to converting any surrounding atmosphere along the way, becoming increasingly dangerous until it reaches an inflection point where the beam is so intense that the energy has to be released in a violent explosion.
转换光束枪发射高强度能量束，将物质转化为纯能量。当物质爆炸时，重装甲目标或致密材料将被撕裂。目标材料的密度越大，击中的物质就越多，因此产生的能量也就越多，这使得转换光束枪特别适用于重型装甲部队、车辆和建筑物。由于沿途转换了周围的任何大气，光束的强度通常会随着它从武器延伸得更远而增加，变得越来越危险，直到它达到一个转折点，在那里光束的强度如此之强，以至于必须在剧烈爆炸中释放能量。

Smaller versions were once known to be occasionally carried by Terminator Marines for cutting through bulkheads when exploring Space Hulks, but this practice is no longer prevalent.
曾经有人知道，星际战士终结者在探索太空废船时偶尔会携带较小的版本来切割舱壁，但这种做法已不再普遍。
An unfortunate downside to conversion beamers is that they are incredibly large and heavy (as they require a number of massive capacitors that line the projection tube) and must remain absolutely motionless when operated, or the intensity of the beam will be negated, rendering the shot useless. Because of this, conversion beamers are usually fitted to self-propelled, wheeled carriages or anti-gravity platforms (the operators will often remain at a safe distance using some form of remote control).Users of the smaller hand-held versions are forced to wear boots with special claws to provide more stable purchase. Another problem with the conversion beamer is the length of time they need build up the energy that is released in the beam. Although it is only a second or so, it is easily long enough for potential targets to have moved or escape the field of fire.
转换光束枪的一个不幸的缺点是，它们非常大和重（因为它们需要许多巨大的电容器排列在发射管上），并且在操作时必须保持绝对静止，否则光束的强度将被抵消，使发射无效。因此，转换光束枪通常安装在自行式轮式运输车或反重力平台上（操作员通常会使用某种形式的远程控制保持安全距离）。较小的手持版本的使用者被迫穿上带有特殊爪子的靴子，以提供更稳定的抓牢。转换光束枪的另一个问题是它们需要时间来积累光束中释放的能量。虽然只有一秒钟左右，但很容易让可能目标移动或逃离开火区域。
