The '''Plasma Pistol''' is a smaller version of the [[Plasma Gun]] and is just as dangerous as other [[Imperial]] [[Plasma Weapons]]. They are favoured by officers due to their rarity and also due to the power afforded by them. It offers a penetrating capacity unique among broadly distributed pistol-sized weapons, and can easily take out heavily armoured enemies. Only the highest officers have access to them, the exception being two members of a [[Space Marine]] [[Assault Squad]]. They may take them so as to become more effective as tank hunters.
