The EtaCarn Plasma Beamer is a man-portable Plasma Weapon used by the military forces of the Leagues of Votann that possesses a medium-to-long range and potent stopping power. It is often used as a specialist heavy weapon by particularly skilled and trusted members of a squad of Hearthkyn Warriors.
However, Kin weapons like the EtaCarn Plasma Beamer are superior in almost every respect to those patterns of Plasma Weapons wielded by the agents and military of the Imperium, since the Kin employ superlative materials and methods in their construction and have no fear of further innovating on an ancient STC design. As a result, the EtaCarn Plasma Beamer and its variants often have longer ranges and more stopping power than any of their Imperial equivalents, and are far less prone to the explosive instability that particularly marks Imperial Plasma Weapons.
