Plasma arms

plasma arms fire bolts of plasma. the plasma carries energy and heat. The gun uses capsules as ammo

that carry the plasma, when the trigger is pulled the capsule releases the plasma, the plasma is formed into a bolt by electromagnetic energy and flung out by grav-magnetic rails. The bolt when it hits matter the the force of the hit splits the plasma into ions and heat. The heat damages the target and the Ions dissipate usually hitting an matter forcing it backwards.

### Bolt

The bolt produced usually starts out as a capsule, a bullet sized battery containing densely packed synthetically modified neogen, using electricity the neogen is excited and converted to plasma, this plasma is a electric-thermal conducting plasma, aka Alpha plasma, Perfect for weaponry, the Capsule is primed then ready to fire, When the trigger is pulled the capsule lid opens releasing the plasma, the plasma currently is full of electricity But not heat so heat is added to the bolt just before the bolt is wrapped into a magnetic shell that contains the bolt, two hyper magnetic rails propel the bolt out of the barrel. The bolt the hits matter, the magnetic shell splits releasing Heat that penetrates amour or skin and electricity which can either knock out or eliminate an enemy swiftly. The bolt is extremely effective and much faster than a standard bullet.

### Heat

The heat is mainly produced by The heating of the bolt and the propulsion of the bolt leaving behind some thermal Radiation which can over heat a weapon forcing it into spontaneous cool-down, The gun has built in cooling agents such as hypothermal-foams or liquid nitrogen or with vents, These constantly cool the gun but can be overridden by hyper intense heats.

### Power

Dense battery's are used to power the Immense power consumption of the gun, the battery charges the bolt, the magnetic rails, the coolant, the vents, the holographic sight and the magnetic energy container. the battery must be replaced monthly usually.

### Velocity and Recoil

plasmic weapons are extremely high in velocity it usually reaching a minimum of 3000 UPH to a Max. of 9000 UPH, the gun fires its bolt exactly 1.7 millionth of a second after trigger pull and the accuracy\velocity depends on the Magnetic wave frequency. Plasma weapons have minimal recoil from the magnetic rails but other than that, the weapon is completely recoiless.

### Cartridge and capsules

The standard cartridge is 20 capsules, which can fit 4 light mags, 2 medium mags and halve of a heavy mag, four types of capsule exist

* Light used in light arms like handguns or carbines, an inch in size they fire a three inch sized bolt
* Medium used in rifles and light rapid guns, two inch in size they fire a four inch bolt
* Heavy used in cannons and heavy rapid guns three inch in size they fire a six inch bolt
* cell are used in disperser cannons and work like shotgun shells, they fire small pellets of plasma in a spread at enemy's

## Measurements

### **Calibre**

All weapons use the plasmic calibre system of NU: for bolt lengths and BU: barrel diameters

so NU measures a bolts length in Micro units (real life centimetres) so 15 NU would be a 15 centimetre bolt in length

BU is used to describe a barrels diameter in centimetres so 50 BU would be a 50 centimetre diameter

### **Gas weight** / **energy amount**

GA measures how much gas is in the bolt in Grams so 13GA would be 13 grams of gas in the bolt

EEA measures the amount of energy in the bolt (in Kilowatts) so 150 EEAs is equal to 150 kilowatts

## types

**light**

light plasma weapons include handguns, pistols and rapid pistols, they fire smaller inaccurate bolts, but with an easy operation, most are automatic or bolt action.

**medium**

medium weapons include rifles, long rifles, strikers and carbines they fire medium sized bolts that fire at different rates or range.

**heavy**

include cannons and rapid cannons, they fire fast large bolts or slow large bolts at high ranges but inaccurately
