Plasma Cannon	comment	Plasma is one of the four traditionalnote If you're interested, non-traditional ones include stuff like Glass, Liquid Crystal, Degenerate matter and several other more exotic forms. states of matter, a step up from gas where the electrons become so energized that they break free of their orbits. Naturally some people have thought of weaponizing it. Unfortunately, in real life, plasma's properties make it more than a bit impractical. Even without atmosphere, it spreads out and becomes useless more than a fraction of an inch from the source, making it useful as a cutting tool but not a (ranged) weapon unless you can practically project a magnetic bottle to contain the plasma until it hits the target... which is very advanced technology in its own right (and subject to that very same technology being used to disrupt the magnetic bottle of the weapon). Even with atmosphere, the fact that gases are much denser than plasma means that plasma won't penetrate very far through air — think of shooting compressed air underwater. Needless to say, practical ranged plasma weapons are an indication of a highly advanced civilization. Those impracticalities may be why most fictional plasma weapons, almost always heavy guns or cannons, are at most Cool, but Inefficient. Common traits include: Being considered the next step up the Tech Tree from Slow Lasers. Bulk, almost always a BFG if not a vehicular weapon. Drawbacks such as lengthy charging time, low battery capacity/high power drain, short range, or a tendency toward Overheating. Massive damage, frequently an Armor-Piercing Attack as well, making it primarily useful as Anti-Armor. Usually fires green or blue blobs, although colors may vary. Said blob is a Painfully Slow Projectile compared to beam based energy weapons. Occassionally sets targets on fire or melts them. That being said, one of the major reasons why a civilization displaying practical ranged plasma weapons is so intimidating is because, if practically delivered, plasma has a devastating effect on target. It doesn't merely look cool; it delivers enormous heat and electricity into the target, wreaking havoc on electrical systems (including organic ones, like the human body), outright melting what it hits, and setting everything near it on fire. A Sub-Trope of Ray Gun and Energy Weapon. When the science fiction setting demands the function of the weapon to be explained, however, it's nearly universally mentioned to be a high-powered relative of Magnetic Weapons instead, the implications being that the projectile's launch energy and/or air friction is sufficient to turn most of it into plasma.

Plasma Cannon / int_1133352a	comment	Terminator: In The Terminator, the Terminator requests a handheld plasma weapon at a gun shop, which the salesman brushes off as a joke. He then proceeds to rob the gun store of a number of conventional modern weapons. Being from the future, he probably wasn't making it up. The energy weapons seen in the future segments may or may not be examples; it isn't specifically stated. In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, the T-X's primary Arm Cannon weapon is said to be a plasma weapon. Being a Swiss-Army Weapon, she has several alternates built in, including a flamethrower.

Plasma Cannon / int_17bfcf60	comment	Homeworld includes many ships armed with plasma bomb launchers, notably the Attack Bomber and Assault Frigate. The semi-canon Homeworld: Cataclysm has the Taiidan attempting to increase the rate of fire for plasma bomb launchers. The result is the Energy Gun, an upgrade for mass drivers that fires a self-guided and thus highly accurate plasma bomb. This gives larger ship classes a fighting chance against fighters, yet fighter strafing runs also become more deadly against larger ship classes. The Kuun-Lan's siege cannon is an oversized weapon originally designed to crack the shielding of asteroid bases. It has a range of several kilometers and a massive blast radius. Homeworld 2 features a few ships with plasma-based weaponry, Bombers and Progenitor Movers in a forward mount as well as Progenitor Dreadnaughts in a dual-barreled underside turret. The non-controllable Progenitor Drones are armed with a rapid-fire version. Many mods feature the heavy use of plasma-based weapons.

In both games, the plasma cannon is a fairly advanced late-game weapon, and the plasma rifle is the best handheld weapon available. In the second game, plasma cannons have an enveloping effect, which means they deal damage to all four shield sections simultaneously.

It has decent range, limited tracking ability, and can one-shot a majority of enemy units. Despite this it is inadvisable to use early on as the cannon is not only an energy hog but also destroys any potential salvage from the enemy, which is the currency for repairs, upgrades, and new units.

Plasma Cannon / int_247422c7	comment	Honor Harrington: Plasma rifles and plasma carbines, considered to be anti-armor weapons, and plasma torpedoes, which are not torpedoes at all but rather a capital ship grade BFG, capable of tremendous destructive power at relatively short ranges (they pretty much stop factoring in the stories entirely once the Manticoran Missile Massacre becomes the preferred tactic of the setting.) The problem with the torpedoes is that they are utterly useless against sidewalls. The only reason they were mounted on Honor's light cruiser is to complement the gravlance, an experimental weapon that can take down sidewalls with a single shot, allowing the torpedoes to finish the job. Unfortunately, the gravlance has a ridiculously short range, making it utterly useless in actual space combat.

Plasma Cannon / int_33dd1d90	comment	Half-Life 2: While never explicitly described as a "plasma rifle", the Overwatch Standard-Issue Pulse Rifle functions much like the plasma rifles of most FPS games. The main difference is that Pulse Rifles function by using containers filled with dark energy, as clips which expel this material in controlled bursts. They also can fire a compressed orb of dark energy as a form of self-propelled projectile. Dark energy has heat and kinetic damage, and due to the nature of this sort of exotic matter, it causes normal matter to vaporize and cease to exist. Similar weapons are found mounted on the game's enemy warships and vehicles.

Plasma Cannon / int_5c897f4a	comment	Schlock Mercenary: The titular character favors the BH-209 Plasgun as a default handheld weapon. It's barely usable one-handed, makes a distinctive ommminous huuuummmmmm sound when charging up, sears through most body armor, and explodes at the drop of a hat. It's more or less a handheld fusion-powered thruster with "recoil-less" mode, which can be toggled with a flip of switch. When used for propulsion, it allows the quarter-ton amorph to fly around and try aerial acrobatics. Which also means it eats a lot of working medium and expects to take it from air, so in vacuum it fails and around liquids becomes even more dangerous than normally. His first one blew up when he poured beer on it. Later strips introduce the AP-130, which is smaller than most handguns and doesn't have a lengthy charging time; Sergeant Schlock rejects it as "dinky". This actually proves to be a legitimate point; without the glowing barrel and hum the intimidation factor that was most of the weapon's appeal was completely lost. Then he picked up BH-250, looking much the same as his old one. It totals 19.5 kg.

Plasma Cannon / int_68b8bdfe	comment	In the original series, X-COM: UFO Defense, alien plasma weaponry is the best conventional weaponry in the game (unconventional weaponry includes guided missiles and stun bombs), and only technically lose to lasers in that their ammo capacity is finite. In the sequel, XCOM Terror From The Deep, plasma weapons are unsuited for the oceanic depths, and you can instead develop Gauss weaponry, which works on a similar principle. In both cases, the plasma particle is fired and encased in a magnetic field that explodes on impact to release the energy. Gauss weaponry is less powerful and effective than straight plasma weaponry, but uses a stronger magnetic field to work underwater as well as on land.

Plasma Cannon / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1 has the Goa'uld use plasma weapons they call "staff weapons" because of their shape and the ability to use them in close combat. They fire orange bolts that, while deadly, can't be aimed well because of the weapon's archaic design (meant to be fired from the hip and lacks any iron sights). Regular bulletproof vests actually make the impact worse, but newer heat-resistant inserts can allow a soldier to survive a direct hit. A wrist-mounted version was designed by Anubis for his Kull warriors. Its shots are individually less powerful, but it has a full-auto mode. Several upscale versions also exist, such as the stationary cannons, cannons mounted on Death Glider fighters (also without any means of targeting beyond "fire wherever the craft is moving"), turreted versions on Alkesh bombers, and heavy cannons aboard their Ha'tak capital ships. The heavy cannons have been known to level cities and have their firepower measured in megatons. Humans have been reverse-engineering them for quite some time. During a scientific conference, Sam and Dr. Lee present a "not-quite-working" model of a handheld plasma cannon (the size of a bazooka). Why? So they can show the normal trial-and-error progress to the world and avoid any suspicion. But when an alien assassin tries to kill Sam, they are able to quickly get the weapon working for at least one shot. The latest Asgard weapons are called plasma beams and can cut through any known shields (but utterly fail to scratch the bio-armor of the Super-Hive in the Stargate Atlantis Grand Finale).

After reverse-engineering Faata tech, humans gained access to advanced tech. Better plasma weapons became standard ship weapons, although frigates and cruisers were also equipped with annihilators, extremely powerful antimatter weapons. Races that don't have annihilators (e.g., Dromi) tend to use plasma as their primary space-based weapons.

Plasma Cannon / int_755997ac	comment	Doom: The plasma rifle (DoomÂ³'s in particular) does more damage per projectile than the go-to machine gun, and with higher accuracy, but it suffers from slower projectiles, more scarce ammo, and in the classic games an arbitrary one-second delay after releasing the trigger. It does, however, buck the trend of "slow-to-fire" into orbit with its rate of fire: the classic one fires at 700 rounds per minute cyclic, while 3's iteration goes up to a more modest but still considerably high 480. The BFG9000 in the original games is implied to be a plasma cannon, given that it uses the same ammo as the standard plasma rifle. The Project Brutality mod for Doom 2 has the plasma rifle with a charged shotgun blast as its secondary fire, the heavy plasma rifle that shoots slower but with more force and can be used as a plasma thrower, the BFG10k, the big brother to BFG9000 with its main shot, a focused laser, and energy shield, and the BFG11k a rapid fire plasma gatling gun that can fire a powerful plasma beam.

Plasma Cannon / int_755b343f	comment	In Halo, a variety of plasma weapons are used by the Covenant. Infantry-scale ones tend (in-game) to be less powerful than ballistic weapons, have significant travel time, cannot be reloaded by the player, and overheat if fired too much, but are much better at draining energy shields and have enormous magazines. Ship-based plasma weapons are always portrayed as frighteningly powerful and far superior to their ballistic counterparts. In particular, the Covenant use a device in their weapons which can project a magnetic sheath remotely; this can actually be used to "guide" plasma to its target (though it's subject to certain limitations), with its operation is described as being like focusing a series of lenses to adjust the containment as the plasma travels. If the firing ship is destroyed while the plasma shot is still en route, the magnetic sheath will disappear, and the plasma will follow suit soon after. In one novel, Cortana was able to modify the settings on a plasma weapon to turn it into a near-lightspeed plasma beam, earning her the ire of the ship's Covenant AI for messing with "divine" artifacts.

Plasma torpedoes are also mentioned in passing as armament used by the Cardassians and the Kazon in successor series. Plasma weapons are used in the pilot episode of Star Trek: Enterprise and never since, probably because of their extreme inaccuracy. The NX-01 Enterprise is shown not to be able to hit anything with them. In another episode (pre-phase cannons), they're testing spatial torpedoes. When those fail, the crew acts as if the ship is defenseless, forgetting about plasma cannons. In fact, the only time a plasma weapon is successful is when a farmer shoots a pissed-off Klingon with a plasma rifle. The time-traveling Nah'kul also have these weapons, having provided them to the Nazis in an alternate timeline in the Enterprise two-parter "Storm Front". The German military mount these weapons on their fighter planes.

Unlike most portrayals of plasma weapons in fiction, BattleTech plasma rifles and plasma cannons (the plasma cannons are actually the smaller of the two) work by using an electrical current to flash the ammunition into a plasma state, then vent it out toward the target in a stream like a gigantic blowtorch. Technically, the classic 'Mech flamer is another example. While it's often described as directly channeling and venting fresh fusion-hot plasma from the 'Mech's engine itself it actually works by super-heating air into a plasma state. It's better known, however, for embodying another trope. The Particle Projector Cannon alternates between a plasma cannon and a Lightning Gun depending on the artist and adaptation, but it is always a massive, highly accurate energy cannon that is so bright it can cause permanent eye damage. The massive Naval Autocannons mounted on WarShips are also stated to use controlled plasma explosions to launch the projectiles instead of gunpowder, making them a partial example.

Plasma Cannon / int_9fb9bec4	comment	Outsider: Ship-mounted plasma weaponry are employed by the Loroi, Historians and Umiak, and is well beyond anything humanity has access to. Plasma cannons come with a number of disadvantages, as they require the use of a "carrier wave" to keep the beam from diffusing into nothingness before doing anything useful — only the Umiak and Historians have mastered this technique, and Loroi plasma cannons are consequently fairly primitive in comparison — have limited range, are easily disrupted by electromagnetic screening due to their net charge and are completely useless in atmosphere. On the other hand, they're far more powerful than the lasers and particle beams that make up the bulk of most ships' guns and are well-suited for penetrating ship armor, and the heavier variants are capable of overloading and shorting out defensive screens.

Plasma Cannon / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Almost every race in the game has access to some form of plasma weapon, most often for a squad's special weapons guy. The Imperium, Orks, and Chaos Space Marines have high-damage, but unstable plasma weaponry that shoot balls of plasma, scaled as pistols, rifles, and of course as a plasma cannon, and scaled up even farther with Titan weaponry. They're powerful enough to cook even the most well-protected troops with a single shot, and a lucky hit can even punch through all but the heaviest of vehicular armor. The downside, other than being hard to make and maintain, is that they are prone to overheating, venting, and even exploding in the user's hands, easily killing them if their armor doesn't hold out. It is possible to fire them relatively safely at lower settings. Not so for the Orks, who are a species of Living Weapon Blood Knight Ax-Crazy maniacs who won't fire at anything less than full power, being the Trope Namer's for More Dakka. The Tau have safe and stable ion weapons that fire a stream of ions that turn the target into plasma. Unusually for Tau equipment, ion weapons can disable their power-limiters to fire an explosive over-charge shot at the cost of making them unstable. Plasma weaponry doesn't see a lot of use in their arsenal, however — their main sidearms, pulse weapons, are essentially particle accelerators that fire charged particles, and they favor railguns for the really big hitters. The Eldar and Dark Eldar have stable AND powerful plasma as, when their old civilization collapsed, they were able to keep their technological capability, unlike the humans who lost a lot of technological knowledge and the Orks who, unlike the Eldar whom they were created alongside, devolved and cannot fully access their inbuilt genetic knowledge. Some large Tyranids (read: bugs the size of houses, or multi-kilometer bio-ships) are also capable of generating plasma within their own bodies, although it's more of a mix of unstable chemicals that ignite when spat out and leaves the bug's mouth or other organ that projects them. That being said, the Tyranids are so evolved that this chemical cocktail used by their bio-forms burns hot enough that it makes plasma, hence "bio-plasma". "Melta" weapons are considered to be, by certain segments of the fandom, to behave the way that realistic plasma weapons should, although plasma is never referred to when describing them. They fire a beam of immense heat that disperses rapidly, so they can one-shot a vehicle or a building up close, kill most things in one shot just outside of a few yards (or a guaranteed wounding on things that are just too big to die outright), but are practically harmless at stand-off range and long range. Their portrayal differs a bit between different media, with tabletop and lore having them as an instantaneous shot, while video games tend to use a continuous beam. That said, fan opinion is typically more leaning towards the idea that they fire microwave beams.

You can research and reverse-engineer these weapons, making them the tier three upgrades for your own troopers, and finally on par with alien damage output. Exactly the same can be said on the various clones and descendants of the title, like for example Xenonauts. In the original series, X-COM: UFO Defense, alien plasma weaponry is the best conventional weaponry in the game (unconventional weaponry includes guided missiles and stun bombs), and only technically lose to lasers in that their ammo capacity is finite. In the sequel, XCOM Terror From The Deep, plasma weapons are unsuited for the oceanic depths, and you can instead develop Gauss weaponry, which works on a similar principle. In both cases, the plasma particle is fired and encased in a magnetic field that explodes on impact to release the energy. Gauss weaponry is less powerful and effective than straight plasma weaponry, but uses a stronger magnetic field to work underwater as well as on land. In XCOM 2, plasma weapons fire laser-like beams rather than the usual "gassy bolt" projectiles, and are deadlier than ever.

Doesn't seem like an allergy to any lethal weapon would really matter, but...

Plasma Cannon / int_e931907b	comment	Nuclear Throne's plasma weapons fire large balls of energy, and includes the Plasma Cannon, which fires an even larger ball that explodes into 10 normal ones, and the Super Plasma Cannon, which fires a ball multiple times larger than your character and is powerful enough to lag the game every time you fire it. The weapon's associated loading tip? "Comedy".

Plasma Cannon / int_eba97356	comment	Skyrealms of Jorune: Blasters are the Magnetic Weapon variety of Plasma Cannon. Ranging from pistol to cannon size, the blaster magnetically launches a metal pellet that has been super-heated. Leaving the muzzle, the pellet becomes a ball of super-hot plasma capable of punching a hole through the massive Jorune wildlife.

Plasma Cannon / int_eec3eb25	comment	In Line of Delirium, plasma weapons are one of the two common types of energy weapons (the other one being lasers). Plasma weapons have crazy knockback, even able to blast a soldier in Powered Armor across the room. If a plasma shot manages to get through one of the slits between armor plates, then the person wearing it is cooked from the inside, as the armor is instantly turned into an oven. Some plasma weapons are also called fusion weapons. A plasma blast at close range can put a fist-sized hole in someone's chest.

Plasma Cannon / int_f01c0730	comment	In the RCN universe, ship point defense mounts use plasma cannons, whose lightspeed bolts don't really work beyond relatively short ranges but are quite destructive within those ranges. Instead of destroying incoming missiles, they use ablation to try to drive anti-ship missiles off-course enough to miss.note RCN universe missiles rely solely on kinetic warheads to cause the damage, so as long as they don't connect with the target they're unable to cause damage. As a secondary use, they can strip the delicate sails used by ships to maneuver in hyperspace, to prevent a Hyperspeed Escape.

Plasma Cannon / int_f04b4111	comment	Metroid: The Plasma Beam is a weapon upgrade which powers up Samus's attacks and grants them the ability to pass through multiple enemies (and in Metroid Dread, to damage robotic enemies with all beam attacks instead of only charged shots). It's usually the strongest beam weapon that Samus can get in each game, depicted as capable of incinerating lesser foes in a single shot, and burning those who survive. In Metroid Prime, in which Samus switches between beam weapons on the fly rather than stacking their effects, the Plasma Beam functions like a Short-Range Shotgun — having high power but a slow firing and charging speed compared to her other weapons, as well as a limited range when not charged — making it somewhat more realistic than most examples. Metroid Prime: Hunters has the Judicator, which actually uses super-cooled plasma, which is capable of freezing people if used. Sounds like bad science, but it actually is indeed possible to supercool plasma to freezing degrees with a laser. Metroid: Other M has Anthony's plasma cannon, which is noticeably more primitive in that it "takes forever to charge".

Plasma Cannon / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: Plasma-based weaponry was used by both starships in the form of large-scale plasma cannons and PPGs, "Phased Plasma Guns", which were handheld weapons that varied from the size of a small pistol to an assault rifle-sized device. The in-canon justification of this is that they are safer for use inside a spaceship or space station than kinetic weapons, as the bolts will dissipate harmlessly if they strike a large conductive object (like the inside of a hull). Shipboard plasma cannons have fallen out of favor following the Earth-Minbar War, as the powerful but short-ranged weapons proved to be of little use to humans against advanced Minbari tech. Post-war, newer ship designs favored longer-ranged yet slightly less powerful weapons.
