rubber tires and metal springs and hydraulic cylinders make a smooth ride.
there is such a thing as shock absorption.
say, a special shock absorbing material filled subway car with a device on top, designed to collapse from the roof down, as a cushion for the upward
blast.
that is as plausible as star wars beams, and also doesn't hurt the bathtub.
ring around the bathtub, it didn't break when the entire buildings collapsed.
and there is no reason to limit yourself to one type of device. pro demos use a variety of devices for different tasks.... shatter, slice, angle
slice, time, type of trigger, direct/guide blast, reduce noise....
