"Glock 86 Plasma Pistol. Designed by the Gaston Glock artificial intelligence. Shoots a small bolt of superheated plasma. Powered by a small energy cell."

- Fallout and Fallout 2 description

The Glock 86 plasma pistol, also known as the Plasma Defender, is an energy weapon in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics
The Glock 86 Plasma pistol is a powerful energy-based handgun, being able to punch through many low-level critters and most types of armor with ease. Even late into Fallout 2, it still deals a decent amount of damage to Wanamingoes and Enclave soldiers.

Variants
In Fallout 2 its magnetic housing chamber can be realigned, resulting in extended charge capacity.

In Fallout: New Vegas the weapon reappears as the Plasma Defender.
