The particle beams are about the width of a human hair, and contain billions of particles.

They can’t control the particles finely enough, so they make up for that by using billions of them.

The chance of two bullets colliding in mid-air is low if you only fire one each.
But fire billions of bullets, and you’re bound to see a collision.
