Plasma rifle (Fallout)

The Winchester Model P94 Plasma Rifle is an industrial-grade energy weapon, firing superheated bolts of plasma down a superconducting barrel ending in electromagnetic claws helping to form the plasma bolt. Powered by Micro Fusion Cells.

Initially, the weapon was a bulky, industrial plasma caster, manufactured by Winchester Arms, however, eventually, the company has downsized the weapon and revamped its design, making it a man-portable energy rifle, complete with a stock, pistol grip and carry handle (which can, presumably, also mount optics).

Upgrades
A superior version of this weapon exists, with a hotwired plasma bolt chamber, called the Turbo Plasma Rifle.

Locations
Unlike the laser rifle, the plasma rifle is rare in Fallout. They are mostly found in the Military Base and Cathedral. You can also kill certain super mutants or get them from the Gun Runners.

Appearances
This rifle appears in Fallout and Fallout 2. An actual rifle version exists in Fallout Tactics. In Fallout 3 it was replaced by the Enclave Plasma Rifle and is only mentioned by Owyn Lyons.
