The plasma rifle is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Conversions
The rifle is usually found as a pistol, that has to be upgraded to rifle status through the weapons workbench with a full stock or better. This gives it the rifle status, but also gives it all of the bonuses of the full stock as well, such as accuracy and bashing damage. Compared to the Fallout New Vegas plasma rifle, the F04 one's projectiles travel much faster, and the damage is 50% ballistic damage, 50% energy damage, as opposed to just energy. This is a good weapon for facing high tier enemies, with its dual damage types and easily 200 points of damage per shot when fully upgraded.

This is however, not the easiest weapon to find and upgrade, as it is very hard to come by level 1-20, unless in a specific spot, and the ammo is more expensive than that of the laser rifle, or other guns.
