Description:
The plasma caster is load with a cylinder of liquefied plasma gas, and it takes a while to reloaded it.
Each cylinder would only last thirty minutes, if the operator held down the trigger continuously.
The weapon is also heavy, and reduces the speed that operator can move.
This is due to all the weight of the weapon, and if the operator is carrying a reload.
The weapon for the first forty meters let out a white hot jet of plasma, which burns at twenty thousand degrees Fahrenheit.
After which the heat begins to tail off rapidly till after another sixty meters, a hundred in total the weapon has little effect.
This weapon is primary use is to clear corridors and rooms, as even if the enemy is hiding behind a door or a wall, the flames will still hit them if close enough.
