Real plasma weapons

http://www.thelivingmoon.com/45jack_files/03files/Introducing_Particle_Beam_Weapon.html keep in mind this was from 1984, 34 Years ago. I'm just guessing that the "plasma" in the gun would be accelerated, making it a particle beam weapon, a kinetic weapon.

Yes ... this article mentions "blooming" of the beam. This is why, in practical terms, particle beam weapons have not fared very well.

 

Now ... if some enterprising soul can figure a way to accelerate neutrons ... Now that would definitely be the cat's meow!!!

I don't know how realistic it is, but the wiki mentions that the fallout weapons use hydrogen for their plasma weapons, and the video I linked seems to show it as purple-violet.

i'm pretty sure the goo piles are artistic license, or something retro-engineered from aliens. :smile:

The concept art for FO3 consistently showed them as that purple-violet color instead of green. I kinda prefer it, and I really like the alternate tube design in the last one.
