Trivia

  • This technology is similar to the "blaster" from Star Wars.
  • 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.
