{{Quote|[The plasma pistol] is the bread and butter of [[Covenant]] small arms—almost as common as the [[MA5 series|MA5]] is with the [[UNSC]].

The '''''Eos'Mak''-pattern Pistol''' {{Type|25|Directed Energy Pistol|DEP}}{{Ref/Reuse|evg}} also known as the '''plasma pistol''',{{Ref/Reuse|h3bnet}} is a Covenant infantry weapon originally manufactured by the [[Assembly Forges]] during the Human-Covenant War. Following the [[Fall of High Charity|Fall]] of ''[[High Charity]]'', the plasma pistol is manufactured by [[Iruiru Armory]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p291}}
==Overview==
===Design details===
{{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}}

===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}}

==Trivia==
*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.
*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 (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]]''.
*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.
*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-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]]''.
