Plasma Cannon

Fires bursts of supercharged plasma. ---Descent Manual description

The Plasma Cannon is the fourth primary weapon in Descent and Descent II. When fired, it launches two rapid bursts of fast flying plasma projectiles which do a great damage to any robot it hits. The weapon does however consume twice the energy than the Laser Cannon does. Because the projectiles are larger, it is much harder to shoot round an adjacent corner.
