*The plasma pistol was inspired by the "[[w:c:marathongame:Zeus Class Fusion Pistol|Zeus Class Fusion Pistol]]" from the [[Marathon (Video Game Series)|''Marathon'' series]]. Like the Fusion Pistol, the plasma pistol is a reasonable-damage single-shot weapon with an overcharge mode. However, the Fusion Pistol's overcharge was far more deadly in-game and could kill nearly any enemy in the game, with one limitation: if the gun was left overcharged for too long, it would explode violently, killing the wielder.

*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', if the player remain idle while wielding a plasma pistol, [[John-117]] will pull the top off the pistol, showing what seems to be a power cell similar to a round of the [[Type-33 fuel rod gun|fuel rod gun]]. In ''Halo 3'', the same will happen if the player remain idle for a while; the playable character will flip it open and the player will be able to see the internal mechanisms of the pistol.

*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.
