Plasma pistol

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

Glock 86 Plasma Defender pistol


 The Austrian Glock 86 plasma pistol model, also known as the Plasma Defender, was designed before the Great War by the Gaston Glock artificial intelligence. 
 * For the modified version of the plasma defender found in Fallout 2, see: Plasma pistol (Ext. Cap.).

Enclave plasma pistol


 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, probably by electromagnetic propeller built around the cathode. The propelled energy forms a Plasma Pinch; though rather slow, the pinch carries high levels of both thermal and kinetic energy.
