Plasma Gun

Description

 * The Plasma Gun is a rifle-sized plasma weapon common to many of the forces of the Imperium. It is classified as a special weapon and is carried by a variety of Imperial infantry, including Space Marines, Imperial Guardsmen and Stormtroopers. Like other infantry-carried plasma weapons, Imperial plasma guns are more powerful than plasma weapons used by xenos races but are unstable; they have a chance to malfunction and wound the wielder.

Xeno Plasma Guns
Analogs of the weapon can be found in other Warhammer 40,000 factions. Most notable of which is the Tau Empire plasma rifle.

Dawn of War
Outside of the tabletop games, the plasma gun can be seen in the computer game Dawn of War, where it can be carried by various Space Marine and Imperial Guard units.
