Gamma rays can increace your chance of cancer. However, this is what all radiation does, and gamma rays are much more powerful than most other radiation! If a consentrated beam of gamma rays hits your head, then it can burn through your skull, hit your brain and consiquentially; melt it. Also, using millitary sattilites can help detect nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons emit gamma rays, which is one of the reasons they are so deadly. One other thing fammarays can do is destroy the ozone layer. If a star explodes in a super-nova, a powerful shot of gamma ray energy might hit Earth. Although the chances of this are extremely low, the ozone layer could be severely depleted. Most if not all living things would die, and less importantly, your chances of getting sunburned will go up by about 112%! These are the reasons why gamma rays are so deadly and very useful to.
