Sandman "blaster" (Logan's Run Movie/TV)

I know the Deep Sleep gun in the book is actually a projectile weapon of some sort, but that's about it.<br /><br />I'm more interested in the version of the weapon from the movie and tv series.<br /><br />More specifically, what kind of weapon is it?  Some sort of energy-base, but what kind?  Microwaver?  It fits the damage effects for the most part I think.  Plus no visible beam.  Can microwavers damage non-organic things the way the sandman guns could in both?<br /><br />I'm also intrigued with the idea of a chemical laser in the IR range.  No visible beam, and the &quot;muzzle flash&quot; would be venting the waste products of the chemicals used to make the laser pulse.<br /><br />Either might make a good choice for the movie weapon, but the tv version complicates things by adding a &quot;stun&quot; mode that paralyzes people with a very visible blue beam.  I got no idea what kind of energy weapon could do both in one gun.<br /><br />Thoughts?
