The plasma pistol is a Covenant [[directed-energy weapon]] that was reverse-engineered from a [[Forerunner]] device.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The weapon is powered by a battery cell. This battery can be recharged using a variety of power sources, including UNSC generators, provided an appropriate adaptor is at hand.<ref>'''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]''', ''page 187''</ref> Plasma pistols have a core power output of 100-150 KV at 2~3 dA, but when overcharged, the power output can reach 1.5 MV @ 2~3 dA.{{Ref/Reuse|bung}} The Type-25 DEP is a semi-automatic weapon using a single collimator design that gives the weapon its smooth and aerodynamic, claw like appearance. The Type-25 DEP's functionality is straightforward, the rear section of the pistol has a holographic display which indicates temperature as the weapon is fired—in the center of the holographic display is a small red pad, this pad is the Type-25 DEP's safety and activation mechanism. Before the plasma pistol can be fired the user must place their thumb on the pad, the pistol then activates and can be fired. On the left side is another small red button this opens the top heating vent and allows access to the weapon's internal components. | The plasma pistol is a Covenant [[directed-energy weapon]] that was reverse-engineered from a [[Forerunner]] device.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The weapon is powered by a battery cell.

With the dissolution of a centralized manufacturing control—as a result of the [[Great Schism]] and fall of the [[Covenant]]—new production of plasma pistols have appeared in a bewildering variety of casing styles and adornments. Much to the consternation of UNSC intelligence officers tasked with categorizing new plasma pistol variants, within this broad type classification are innumerable, different sub-classes. This is due to the Covenant's loose (by human standards) interpretation of "standardization" and disdain of serial manufacturing techniques.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | With the dissolution of a centralized manufacturing control—as a result of the [[Great Schism]] and fall of the [[Covenant]]—new production of plasma pistols have appeared in a bewildering variety of casing styles and adornments.
