Plasma Pistol (Fallout 3)

The Enclave Plasma Pistol is a powerful energy based sidearm in Fallout 3. It fires superheated bolts of green plasma. The plasma pistol uses a semi-automatic firing action along with sixteen shots from an Energy Cell. Despite its good damage, the plasma pistol suffers from the same problems of the Enclave Plasma Rifle.

Upon firing the weapon, a large green burst of radiation is created which partially obstructs view. The plasma bolts travel slower than conventional bullets which can miss if not properly aimed. Other than these problems, the plasma pistol is a good sidearm for the energy weapon enthusiast.

Appearances
The Enclave Plasma Pistol appears only in Fallout 3, replacing the Glock 86 Plasma Pistol from previous Fallout games.
