  • this technology is sililar to the "blaster" from starwars.
  • plasma weapons likely work with a high temperature pilot flame and a high power electro magnet, stripping the plasma out of the flame, and projecting it forward. this trades off the extra damage of fire for the added range and lack of dependence on an atmosphere.
  • plasma weapons are only affective due to marine body armor being designed to stop projectiles instead of plasma, even modern hotpads and oven gloves could stop a plasma pistol, and a firefighters uniform could stop a full sized plasma cannon.
