From the Movies

Arms manufacturers for the highest bidders, the Geonosians were no strangers to exotic and advanced forms of weaponry. They employed advanced sonic technology to project discrete globes of concussive energy at their targets. The Geonosians employed both hand-held and turret-mounted versions of their sonic cannons.

From the Expanded Universe

The standard sidearm of the Geonosian soldier uses oscillators to produce a devastating sonic blast. The energy is enveloped in a plasma containment sphere shaped by emitter cowls that channel the sonic beam. This stabilizes the sonic effect until it impacts against its target, resulting in a powerful omnidirectional blast. Large-scale Geonosian sonic cannons can be deployed as platforms, wherein the two or more Geonosian gunners allow the advanced targeting computers of the cannons to do most of the work.

Behind the Scenes

The Geonosian cannon and rifles were computer-generated props, fittingly brandished by computer-generated characters.
