* The plasma pistol was inspired by the "[[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 all of the mainline ''Halo'' games (except ''Halo 4''), if the player remain idle while wielding a plasma pistol, the player character will pull the top off the pistol, showing the plasma pistol's upper firing coil.
