*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. | *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]].

*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', if the player remain idle while wielding a Plasma Pistol, [[John-117]] will pull off the top off the Pistol, showing what seems to be a power cell similar to a round of the [[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 ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', if the player remain idle while wielding a Plasma Pistol, [[John-117]] will pull off the top off the Pistol, showing what seems to be a power cell similar to a round of the [[Fuel Rod Gun]].

*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 that takes 5 head or 8 body single-wielded but 7 head or 11 body when dual-wielded). | *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.

*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. | *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.
