Plasma rifle (Fallout)

The Winchester Model P94 Plasma Rifle is an energy weapon in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Background
The energy weapon is described as industrial-grade, firing "superheated bolts of plasma down a superconducting barrel." The gun is powered by microfusion cells.

Fallout
Its large damage output is second to the alien blaster, though that only has 10 hexes of range. At 25 hexes, the plasma rifle's range is still only about half that of many other higher-end single-shot weapons.

Fallout 2
It averages 47.5 Hit Points per non-critical attack on unarmored targets, and 21.5 HP on medium-armored targets, sometimes exceeding 200 HP per Critical Hit.
