==Overview==
 
===Design details===
The '''Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol'''<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3plasmapistol</ref>, otherwise known as the '''Plasma Pistol''', is a [[Covenant]] ground firearm.
{{Main|Plasma pistol}}
 
Manufactured by Iruiru Armory, the ''Eos'Mak''-pattern plasma pistol is a directed-energy weapon employed by the Covenant and [[Covenant remnants|its splinter factions]]. The ''Eos'Mak''-pattern was the most common variant of the plasma pistol, often utilized by the frontline infantry like the Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and Yanme'e.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p291}} However, the design pattern is associated with an innumerable different sub-classes, much to the consternation of UNSC intelligence officers tasked with categorizing new variants.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} Certain sub-variants are equipped with tracking sights.{{Ref/Reuse|evg}}
== Summary ==
<gallery class=center>
The '''Plasma Pistol''', like the [[Plasma Rifle]], is a directed energy weapon that fires bolts of superheated ionized gas (i.e. plasma) instead of traditional [[Human]] ballistic ammunition. This [[Covenant]] [[weapon]] is capable of quickly firing low-powered shots, or of charging a single high-powered blast which can instantly deplete energy shielding, even overshields. This high-powered shot makes the Plasma Pistol a formidable strategic weapon if used in concert with other infantry weapons.<ref>[http://halo3.com halo3.com]</ref> The Plasma Pistol is a standard-issue weapon for lower-ranking Covenant such as  [[Grunts]] and [[Jackals]], but is occasionally used by higher-ranking Covenant such as [[Elites]] or [[Brutes]].

The Plasma Pistol is one of the most versatile weapons in the entire Halo series. Its ability to instantly and completely deplete shields regardless of strength make it an invaluable weapon in multiplayer as well as in Campaign against certain enemies, especially Elites and Jackals. It is also highly effective against [[Sentinel]]s, taking only a single overcharged shot to destroy a standard Sentinel, or two to destroy a [[Sentinel Major]]. In addition to its standard offensive capabilities, there are also various elements peculiar to each game that enhance its effectiveness. In Halo: Combat Evolved, it has the ability to briefly stun opponents via its standard firing mode. Also, the overcharged shots cause heavy damage to unshielded opponents in multiplayer as well as unshielded Covenant (except Hunters). In Halo 2, the greatly enhanced tracking abilities of the overcharged shots made it extremely effective, as it is nearly impossible to dodge. In Halo 3, while the overcharged shots have reduced tracking from Halo 2, they can now temporarily disable any vehicle, rendering them immobile for a few seconds. (Note: This effect is also an ability of the [[Power Drain]].) Also, an overcharged plasma bolt in  Halo 3 will destroy a Brute's [[Power Armor]], making tham fall apart (this is extremely helpful in [[Legendary]], when a Brute's [[shield]] is far more powerful than yours).

The Plasma Pistol is most effective when used in conjuction with other  particularly those capable of headshots, i.e. the [[Battle Rifle]], [[Carbine]], or any [[M6]] series handgun.Note this weapon alone dosent cause much damage so ahve a backup weapon ready .  Once the player has disabled their enemy's shields with the Plasma Pistol's overcharged shot, a single headshot from any of those weapons will result in a kill. In Halo 2, the colloquial term "[[noob combo]]" has been applied to the Plasma Pistol/Battle Rifle combination due to the extreme tracking abilities of the Plasma Pistol's charged shot as well as the relative ease of achieving headshots with the Battle Rifle. The noob combo is controversial amongst players. Some regard it as cheap while others laud it for its effectiveness. In Halo 2 and Halo 3, the Plasma Pistol is dual-wieldable, allowing the player to use its shield-breaking abilities in concert with another weapon, such as an SMG or pistol. In any Halo game, it is possible to use the Plasma Pistol in conjunction with melee for Close Quarters Combat (CQC, a.k.a. Close Quarters Battle, or CQB). The way you do this is charge up an overcharge shot, and then release it at close range just before using a melee attack. In Halo 1 and 2 (in autoupdate 1.1) it should only take one or two melee attacks to kill, and you can melee right after firing. In Halo 3 it is much more effective, as a melee attack after the shields are gone will guarantee a kill. Waiting in halls or buildings which force your enemy into CQB is an effective strategy. It is also effective for a multiplayer game of Juggernaut, as one fully charged shot can deplete the Juggernaut's shield, effectively making the Juggernaut more vulnerable to basic firepower.
 
=== Disadvantages ===
The Plasma Pistol overheats when fired rapidly for extended periods or when an overcharged shot is fired, which renders the weapon useless for several seconds. Also, the weapon, while accurate, has somewhat of a limited range due to the relatively low velocity of its shots (as compared to most other weapons) and its lack of a scope. It is also a very weak weapon when shot normally, taking multiple shots to wear out a targets shield and doing almost no damage to an unshielded enemy.  The weapon's battery cannot be recharged, and thus it must be discarded when the battery is fully depleted. In [[Halo 2]], the overcharged shot is only capable of depleting energy shields and will not kill any enemy, except [[Sentinels]]. In [[Halo 3]], holding down the trigger to maintain an overcharged shot will deplete the battery gradually. Another disadvantage to this devastating pistol, is its now-reduced ability to follow the opponent. This is very rarely a weapon of choce for most players, unless they wish to use the [[Noob Combo]].
 
== Description and Appearance==
[[Image:Plasma Pistol Render.gif|left|thumb|A render of the Plasma Pistol]]
The Plasma Pistol is capable of quickly firing low-powered shots, or of firing a single high-powered blast which tracks its target to some degree. This blast is capable of immediately dissipating [[Spartans]], [[Elites]], [[Jackal Point Defense Gauntlets]] and immediately destroys the [[Brutes]] battle armor. The amount of battery power it consumes when fired depends on the firing mode used and varies from game to game. In Halo: Combat Evolved, its standard fire depletes 1% of its battery for every five shots, while one overcharge shot will deplete 11% of its battery. In Halo 2, it averages 5 standard shots for every 2% of its battery, while charged shots deplete 15% of the battery. In Halo 3, the battery continually depletes if the trigger is held down for an overcharged shot, and uses 10% upon firing. The core power output is, like the plasma rifle, 100-150 Kv @ 2-3 dA, but, when overcharged, the power output is 1.5 Mv @ 2-3 dA.
 
The offensive capabilities of the weapon have varied somewhat from game to game. For example, in Halo: Combat Evolved, the standard shots were, like the Plasma Rifle, capable of briefly stunning an enemy. This ability is absent in Halo 2 and Halo 3. Also, the standard shots are much weaker in Halo 2 and Halo 3 than in Halo 1. The tracking abilities of the overcharged shots have varied as well. While they have a somewhat slight homing ability in Halo 1 and Halo 3, they are almost impossible to dodge at close range in Halo 2.
 
==Internal Mechanism ==
 
It is not known exactly how the firing mechanism of the Plasma Pistol functions, but it has been suggested that an electrical current from the battery is passed between the 'prongs', ionizing the surrounding gas into a [[plasma]] and this is then propelled forwards by an electro magnet. This is what causes the weapon to overheat - if the weapon used stored plasma it would super-cool, not heat. However, this is speculation and it is still not known exactly how the weapon functions.
 
On Halo 2, if your character remain idle for a moment while holding a Plasma Pistol, your character will open it and you will be able to see the internal core
 
==Meleé==
 
This weapon is delicate, and cannot withstand high impacts as the [[Plasma Rifle]] can, so, instead of using the weapon to knock the enemy out, the player delivers a punch
 
The meleé action has changed through the games. In the first Halo game, the Master Chief used the right arm to punch the enemy, instead of using his free hand.
 
To do this, the Chief had to take the weapon to his left hand, and then, punch the enemy, making the action slower.
 
In Halo 2, this was fixed, and the player punched with the left (free) hand. Also, the puch can be a swing or a direct punch.
 
== UNSC Remarks ==
[[Image:1179249481.jpg|thumb|right|Dual Plasma Pistols in action.]]
“The trigger is soft—no feedback—there’s no break that tells you when the overcharge is gonna kick in. First time I did it was by accident and it damn near sprained my wrist.”
 
“It’s a damned ray gun—how come we don’t have ray guns?”
 
“It’s great in built-up areas and clearing buildings. Anything over a couple dozen meters though? Not so much.”
 
“How the foxtrot does it track anything? Whatever—I guess that’s why I carry an em ay five (MA5 series) instead of a TACPAD.”
 
“It’s just the right size and it feels good in your hands, but give me an em seven (M7 SMG) or an em ay five (MA5 series) any day of the week.”
 
“[The Type-25 DEP] is the bread and butter of [[Covenant]] small arms—almost as common as the [[MA5]] is with the [[UNSC]]. After the Covenant [[Carrier]] jumped there were some areas of [[Mombasa]] where plasma pistols covered the ground like leaves—that maneuver killed a bunch of dudes on both sides.”
 
== Influences ==


The Plasma Pistol was inspired by the human "Zeus-class fusion pistol" from the ''[[Marathon]]'' series. Like the fusion pistol, the Plasma Pistol is a reasonably damaging single-shot weapon with an overcharge mode. However, the fusion pistol's overcharge was far more damaging and could kill nearly any enemy in the game, with one caveat: if the gun was left overcharged for too long, it would explode, killing its wielder.
===Usage===
The ''Eos'Mak''-pattern was the most common variant of the plasma pistol, employed across the Covenant and its splinter factions. It was commonly used by members of the lower caste, such as the Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and Yanme'e.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p291}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}}

*[[Grunts]]
==Trivia==
*[[Elites]]
*In the PC version of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', if the player has a modified controller with rapid-fire functionality, they can fire the plasma pistol as fast as the second highest turbo setting, which is as fast as the [[MA5B assault rifle|assault rifle]]. However, it overheats extremely fast.
*[[Jackals]]
*In the ''Halo'' trilogy, if the player's plasma pistol is running low on battery, (less than 10%) when they fire it, then it will occasionally splutter and refuse to fire. This may be due to the fact that the power cell is unable to focus the remaining energy into a ball of plasma.
*[[Drones]]
*After killing the [[Prophet of Regret]] on "[[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]" in ''Halo 2,'' he will drop a plasma pistol. He held the same weapon in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', and was rumored to keep it with him at all times in ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''.
*[[Spartans]]
*In [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|''Halo 2'' for Windows Vista]], it is possible to instantly destroy a {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}} by aiming an overcharged bolt at the metal flaps on the back of the Ghost's wings.
*[[Marines]]
*In ''Halo 2'' for Windows Vista, if the player is carrying the plasma pistol and are in [[active camouflage]], one may see a polygon near the front of the weapon. In ''Halo 3'', while using active camouflage, one can see a square where the heat monitor is. This indicates the hologram is a polygon.
*[[Flood]] [[Combat Form|Combat Form]]s
*In ''Halo 3'', if the player overcharges the plasma pistol and slowly release the trigger, it will not fire a shot. The plasma would slowly dissipate and disappear. This can be used as a way to prevent excess battery depletion when an overcharge shot is fired. The plasma pistol in PC versions cannot do this as the player is using a mouse to control the firing.
*In the "Extras" section of the ''[[Halo 3: The Official Strategy Guide]]'', it is stated incorrectly that the plasma pistol has a clip size of 10/100 when it does not have a clip size at all.
*In ''Halo 3'', it is the only [[dual-wield]]able weapon that does not cause less damage per shot when dual-wielded than when single wielded. (26 head/body shots single- or dual-wielded to kill with normal shields; as compared with the [[M6G magnum|M6G]] that takes 5 head or 8 body single-wielded but 7 head or 11 body when dual-wielded).
*In ''Halo 3'', if one looks at their shadow whilst holding a plasma pistol, one may notice a "cap" like protrusion on the back of the gun. This is actually the hologram on the gun that indicates if it is overheated.
*In the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|''Halo: Reach'' Multiplayer Beta]], the sound effect for an overcharged blast was the same as when a circuit is hit in ''[[Marathon]]''.


== Trivia ==
==Gallery==
*In the popular machinima series [[Red vs. Blue]], Medical Officer "Doc" Dufresne uses the plasma pistol as a medical device of some kind. It seems to have the abilities of multiple medical tools rolled into one. As Doc says to Church in one instance "Yeah, it glows green for just about anything. It's sometimes hard to tell the difference. Like this green indicates high levels of anger stemming from suppressed feelings of inadequacy...and this green means impotency. Oops...actually that light CAUSES impotency. My bad, Church!"

*During overheating, tap the B button to cancel so you can get back to fighting or, with an effect, throw a grenade to stop the heat.
===Concept art and artwork===
*In Halo 2, if you hit the power cell on a Ghost with an overcharge shot it will explode, destroying the vehicle and killing the driver, though it is hard to do in actual combat.
<gallery>
*In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] you can press the trigger rapidly enough to fire the weapon faster than the [[Plasma Rifle]], although it overheats at a ridiculously high rate.

*In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] the [[plasma pistol]] bolts will drop over extremely long ranges.
File:Prototype PlasmaPistol Concept.png|Concept art of the plasma pistol for ''Halo Legends'', Prototype.
*In [[Halo 3]], slowly releasing the trigger while overcharging will cause the weapon to stop its charge. In [[Halo 1]] and [[Halo 2]], slowly removing the trigger to its original position does nothing, and causes the weapon to fire its bolt.

*An overcharged shot hitting a [[vehicle]] will cause the vehicle to stall with the same effect of the [[power drain]].

Service history

In service:

 

"[The plasma pistol] is the bread and butter of Covenant small arms—almost as common as the MA5 is with the UNSC. After the Covenant Carrier jumped there were some areas of Mombasa where plasma pistols covered the ground like leaves—that maneuver killed a bunch of dudes on both sides."
— Anonymous UNSC E2-BAG/1/7 serviceman[5]

The Eos'Mak-pattern Pistol (UNSC Type classification: Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol, T-25 DEP)[2] also known as the plasma pistol,[5] is a Covenant infantry weapon originally manufactured by the Assembly Forges during the Human-Covenant War. Following the Fall of High Charity, the plasma pistol is manufactured by Iruiru Armory.[4]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

Main article: Plasma pistol

Manufactured by Iruiru Armory, the Eos'Mak-pattern plasma pistol is a directed-energy weapon employed by the Covenant and its splinter factions. The Eos'Mak-pattern was the most common variant of the plasma pistol, often utilized by the frontline infantry like the Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and Yanme'e.[4] However, the design pattern is associated with an innumerable different sub-classes, much to the consternation of UNSC intelligence officers tasked with categorizing new variants.[3] Certain sub-variants are equipped with tracking sights.[2]

Usage[edit]

The Eos'Mak-pattern was the most common variant of the plasma pistol, employed across the Covenant and its splinter factions. It was commonly used by members of the lower caste, such as the Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and Yanme'e.[4][8]

Non-canon and dubious canon appearances[edit]

Nice opinion, but unfortunately you're an Elite preferred species.

Silver Timeline[edit]

 This article contains information about the Silver Timeline, and is not a part of the established Halo canon.

Eos'Mak-pattern plasma pistols are used by the Covenant against humanity.[9][10]

Trivia[edit]

  • In the PC version of Halo: Combat Evolved, if the player has a modified controller with rapid-fire functionality, they can fire the plasma pistol as fast as the second highest turbo setting, which is as fast as the assault rifle. However, it overheats extremely fast.
  • In the Halo trilogy, if the player's plasma pistol is running low on battery, (less than 10%) when they fire it, then it will occasionally splutter and refuse to fire. This may be due to the fact that the power cell is unable to focus the remaining energy into a ball of plasma.
  • After killing the Prophet of Regret on "Regret" in Halo 2, he will drop a plasma pistol. He held the same weapon in Halo: Contact Harvest, and was rumored to keep it with him at all times in Halo: The Cole Protocol.
  • In Halo 2 for Windows Vista, it is possible to instantly destroy a Karo'etba-pattern Ghost by aiming an overcharged bolt at the metal flaps on the back of the Ghost's wings.
  • In Halo 2 for Windows Vista, if the player is carrying the plasma pistol and are in active camouflage, one may see a polygon near the front of the weapon. In Halo 3, while using active camouflage, one can see a square where the heat monitor is. This indicates the hologram is a polygon.
  • In Halo 3, if the player overcharges the plasma pistol and slowly release the trigger, it will not fire a shot. The plasma would slowly dissipate and disappear. This can be used as a way to prevent excess battery depletion when an overcharge shot is fired. The plasma pistol in PC versions cannot do this as the player is using a mouse to control the firing.
  • In the "Extras" section of the Halo 3: The Official Strategy Guide, it is stated incorrectly that the plasma pistol has a clip size of 10/100 when it does not have a clip size at all.
  • In Halo 3, it is the only dual-wieldable weapon that does not cause less damage per shot when dual-wielded than when single wielded. (26 head/body shots single- or dual-wielded to kill with normal shields; as compared with the M6G that takes 5 head or 8 body single-wielded but 7 head or 11 body when dual-wielded).
  • In Halo 3, if one looks at their shadow whilst holding a plasma pistol, one may notice a "cap" like protrusion on the back of the gun. This is actually the hologram on the gun that indicates if it is overheated.
  • In the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, the sound effect for an overcharged blast was the same as when a circuit is hit in Marathon.
