How can you stop direct energy weapons?

Question

How can you stop direct energy weapons?

Answer 1

By smashing, or sabotageing their power source.  

Answer 2

It depends. Lasers (mirror), microwaves (conducting box with power filters), particle beams (concrete).

Answer 3

well if there were direct energy weapons around, you would use something that would disperse the energy to a larger area so then its not so concentrated. so lets say you have a DEW and you got shot by it, what you would do is somehow get a thick sheet of metal i think. it would depend on how much energy is being given out by the DEW though
