Plasma pistol

Plasma pistols are high-tech weapons firing superheated bolts of plasma, powered by small energy cells, energy cells or plasma cartridges.

Plasma pistol (Fallout 1/2/Tactics)


 The Austrian-made Glock 86 plasma pistol was designed before the Great War by the Gaston Glock artificial intelligence. It shoots a small bolt of superheated plasma and is powered by a small energy cell.

Plasma pistol (Fallout 3/New Vegas)


 This plasma pistol has five tributary energy arcs connected to a central cathode, and the cathode functions as a point of focus, or the barrel. The energy is projected forward and forms a plasma pinch; though rather slow, the pinch carries high levels of both thermal and kinetic energy.

Plasma gun (Fallout 4/76)
