Plasma rifles or plasma casters are high-tech weapons which find numerous applications in military and industrial fields.
-
They fire superheated bolts of plasma powered by either microfusion cells, heavy energy cells or plasma cartridges.
-
The bolt forms in a special chamber, which is then sent down a superconducting barrel,[1][2] propelled by, and in some models stabilized by electromagnetic claws upon exiting it.[3]
-
The plasma bolt is a toroid of superheated hydrogen gas that delivers high levels of both thermal and kinetic energy damage to the target, melting through most types of armors and causing massive 3rd-degree and 4th-degree burns.
