The plasma rifle is a weapon in Fallout 76.

Background

Main article: Plasma rifle

This plasma rifle is a lightweight urban warfare weapon created as part of a desire to replace the aging Winchester P94 "Plasma Caster" design. This design was produced and fielded in number prior to the Great War of October 23, 2077. This however was not the end of the design nor manufacture of this weapon platform. Prior to the nuclear Armageddon REPCONN Aerospace – as a subsidiary of RobCo Industries – would successfully develop an improvement from their spaceflight research. With significantly advanced factions tinkering with the design post Armageddon.

This rifle uses a microfusion cell as its power source and draws plasma from a separate cartridge. When depressing the trigger a plasma toroid is produced that can remain stable under normal atmospheric conditions. This toroid is then ejected down a superconducting barrel against a given target.

Characteristics

Straddling the middle ground between pure energy and pure kinetic weapons, the plasma rifle is a highly customizable platform allowing for the creation of multiple types of weapons, including a marksman rifle, a shotgun, and a flamer. It uses its own, unique ammunition type that can be occasionally hard to find, but among the various energy weapons it's one of the finest.
