How does Killy's weapon in Blame! universe work?


The _Blame_ [Wikia](http://blame.wikia.com/wiki/Gravitational_beam_emitter),
explained GBE (Gravitational Beam Emitter) as:

> The Gravitational Beam Emitter is a powerful gun used by Killy, other
> special Safeguards, and Silicon Creatures. It has immense destructive
> capacity, able to blow through multiple walls with a single blow, causing
> perfectly round holes within them, followed by explosions. The weapon emits
> so much force, that with a single shot it would stagger it's users backwards
> due to the incredible gravity of the weapon. It can blow everything it
> touches into bits.

Is there any scientific explanation about this weapons? Like, how can we use
the weapon, etc.




This kind of weapon also appeared in _Knights of Sidonia_ by the same author.
KoS's Wikia page has slightly more information regarding Gravitational Beam
Emitter a.k.a. [Graviton Radiation Emitter](http://sidonia-no-
kishi.wikia.com/wiki/Graviton_Radiation_Emitter):

> The Graviton Radiation Emitter (sometimes called the Gravitational Beam
> Emitter) is a futuristic technology conceived by Ochiai, and first used by
> the chimera Kanata.

> The first Graviton Radiation Emitter was grown into the chimera Kanata,
> installed as his right eye. Grown using Gauna placenta, it is strongly
> hinted that the structure of the emitter was grown from the second Placental
> Hoshijiro, and then installed into Kanata.

> After the Mizuki's shakedown cruise, construction of the second and third
> Graviton Radiation Emitters was completed. Made entirely from mechanical
> parts, they no longer relied on placenta for their construction.

But the two series are, to my knowledge, not related; Tsutomu Nihei probably
just recycled the same conceptual weapon.

Since this weapon is so blue-sky theoretical, there's no way there's gonna be
a scientific explanation about its workings for the coming centuries or even
millennia. There is a related
[discussion](https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/170215/in-theory-
could-gravitational-waves-be-used-to-make-a-gravity-laser) on Physics.SE which
you can peruse at your leisure.
