Plasma Pistol

The Plasma Pistol is a smaller version of the Plasma Gun, just as dangerous as other Imperial Plasma Weapons.

Overview

Officers favour plasma pistols for their power to neutralize heavily-armoured enemies in an easily-handled pistol configuration. As well, their rarity marks plasma pistols as icons of status that the bearer is considered important enough to have access to one. Amongst Space Marines, plasma pistols are available to Assault Squads to become more effective as tank hunters.[Needs Citation]

The current design in use is the MK III 'Sunfury'.[Needs Citation]

  • Barrage Plasma pistol
  • Mk III "Sunfury": subtype plasma pistol, used by Novamarines[2c]
