The Type-25 DER/J is not suited for long range combat, due to several distinct properties of the weapons operation. The first is the rate of thermal expansion which is determined by the rate of the bloom of the bolt, blooming is the result of plasma breakdown in the air at energy densities of around a megajoule per cubic centimeter. This effect causes the plasma to defocus and disperse energy into the atmosphere. It can be more severe if there is fog, smoke, or dust in the air. As the bolt is accelerated away from the "barrel" of the weapon the plasma begins to decay as a result of the weakening magnetic field. Speed also factors in to this, the faster the bolt is accelerated, the farther the bolt will travel before the temperature of plasma begins to decay and the magnetic field becomes unstable and finally dissipates. As the bolt loses velocity it also loses kinetic damage as it travels longer distances. | The Type-25 DER/J is not suited for long range combat, due to several distinct properties of the weapons operation.

*Increased damage, takes a Spartan's shields down in 4 shots and kills in another 8. A vast improvement over the 18 shot kill Brute Plasma Rifle from ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 2: Anniversary''. | |||
*Doesn't overheat as fast. | |||
