Plasma pistol

Plasma pistols are high-tech weapons firing superheated bolts of plasma, powered by Small Energy Cells.

Glock 86 Plasma Pistol
This German model was designed by the Gaston Glock artificial intelligence.

Plasma Pistol (extended capacity)
This Glock 86 plasma pistol has had its magnetic housing chamber realigned to reduce the drain on its energy cell. Its efficiency has doubled, allowing it to fire more shots before the battery is expended.

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.

MPLX Novasurge
The pre-war prototype of what became the Enclave Plasma Pistol. This weapon does more than three times as much damage as the regular plasma pistol, but also uses two Energy Cells to power each shot, and weighs twice as much as the normal.
