Terranos scientists have just recearched Plasma Weaponry. We have many different types
You may find these expensive, but when you think how much Plasma is worth, you are getting a good deal. We also will give a plasma charger for every 10 weapons of one kind.

Price-$10,000 each

We are still recearching new plasma weapons as we sepeak so, we'll add as we discover.

How do cool the weapon down so the user doesn't burn their hands off?

Define "Plasma" for us, please. What exactly does it do? and one more thing...what teck is this?

Plasma is by far the most common form of matter. Plasma in the stars and in the tenuous space between them makes up over 99% of the visible universe and perhaps most of that which is not visible.

On earth we live upon an island of "ordinary" matter. The different states of matter generally found on earth are solid, liquid, and gas. We have learned to work, play, and rest using these familiar states of matter. Sir William Crookes, an English physicist, identified a fourth state of matter, now called plasma, in 1879.

Plasma temperatures and densities range from relatively cool and tenuous (like aurora) to very hot and dense (like the central core of a star). Ordinary solids, liquids, and gases are both electrically neutral and too cool or dense to be in a plasma state.
The word "PLASMA" was first applied to ionized gas by Dr. Irving Langmuir, an American chemist and physicist, in 1929.

Plasma consists of a collection of free-moving electrons and ions - atoms that have lost electrons. Energy is needed to strip electrons from atoms to make plasma. The energy can be of various origins: thermal, electrical, or light (ultraviolet light or intense visible light from a laser). With insufficient sustaining power, plasmas recombine into neutral gas.
Plasma can be accelerated and steered by electric and magnetic fields which allows it to be controlled and applied. Plasma research is yielding a greater understanding of the universe. It also provides many practical uses: new manufacturing techniques, consumer products, and the prospect of abundant energy.

The weapon bodies are heat Resistant and therefor, if the gun is used correctly, you'll be fine.

Okay, now explain how you get such an unstable sustance ito the gun, and if you say magnetic bottle I'll scream.

Magnetic Bottle :lol:

Plasma weaponry SOUNDS cool, but really. Electrically charged gas? An AK-47 will kill you just as dead, and for far less money and energy. Sadly no one sees mere projectile weapons as futuristic enough... sigh

Basically, we have canisters containing Plasma, which can be recharged. The canisters are heatproof, and are inserted like a normal clip.

But shooting someone with a Plasma gun looks cool!

*Adds a bit* Plasma weapon fires a stream of hot ionized gas. Remenicent of a flamethrower's projection, allthough a plasma weapon is in order of a magnitude more intense..

Very well added

Except a Plasma Pistol fires a single shot of plasma

The good thing is with plasma weapons, it does'nt matter if your sitting in a tank or has some sort of body armour. You will get roasted inside :twisted:

does it like burn through stuff?

Let me think...
YES!

I still like my blasters better.

Santa, sure a crossbow can kill you, and for less money than the AK-47, why did they change? Killing power at range.

Volume of fire as well. The Chinese did develop an auto-loading cross-bow.

This is true, but still the plasma weapons have a place on the battle field.
Plus the plasma has a real happening glow to it :D

ok, then ill need the stats for the "Omega Cannon" if you dont mind. [range, energy needs, ect]

RANGE-up to around 8000m.
POWER-Loaded already, the canister is inside
CREATED BY-TERRANOS
TYPE OF WEAPON-Vehicle or Building Attacking Cannon

Hmm, man-portable magnetic bottle generators? Meet tank-portable magnetic forcefields!

Doesn't burn through everything now does it!
