CP-3 Civilian Plasma Pistol

The CP-3 (Civilian Pistol) Plasma Pistol is a standard sidearm weapon issued to all civilians and military personnel upon entering a galactic cluster. Additional sidearms may be purchased at licensed Trade Guild facilities.
== Description ==
The CP-3 is a light, easy to use sidearm weapon, optimised for usage in Zero-G conditions. The weapon is loaded by sliding in a power pack into the grip of the pistol, then sliding the top of the main body back until it clicks, indicating a successful energy transfer to the rest of the weapon. A simple trigger fires the weapon.
The weapon operates similar to a miniaturised version of the shipboard plasma cannon, and is capable of seriously wounding humanoids and damaging G-Suits. The weapon is semi-automatic and is capable of unloading up to six shots per second, provided the wielder is competent.
The plasma produced by these weapons takes many different colours, though the most commonly-seen colour is plasmatic white. Other fairly common colours of plasma include faint pink and light blue. The colour is caused by slight impurities in the hydrogen used to generate the plasma bolt.
The only real disadvantage of the CP-3 is range, which the MR-5 Military Beam Rifle has in abundance.
