Changes from Type-25 plasma pistol in Halo 2: Anniversary

 * Extensive visual redesign; this plasma pistol's barrels are curvier and look more like the Plasma Rifle's barrels.
 * Can now be zoomed in with Smart scope to decrease reticule bloom.
 * Overcharges now track targets better if the player is "scoped-in," similar to the Type-56 Needler.
 * Is once again able to EMP vehicles.
 * Increased damage, killing a fully-shielded Spartan in 9 bolts.
 * Does not drain battery while the trigger is held down as long as the current battery percentage is sufficient.
