The '''''Eos'Mak''-pattern Pistol''' {{Type|25|Directed Energy Pistol|DEP}}{{Ref/Reuse|evg}} also known as the '''plasma pistol''',{{Ref/Reuse|h3bnet}} is a Covenant infantry weapon originally manufactured by the [[Assembly Forges]] during the Human-Covenant War. Following the [[Fall of High Charity|Fall]] of ''[[High Charity]]'', the plasma pistol is manufactured by [[Iruiru Armory]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p291}}
==Overview==
===Design details===
{{Main|Plasma pistol}}
Manufactured by Iruiru Armory, the ''Eos'Mak''-pattern plasma pistol is a directed-energy weapon employed by the Covenant and [[Covenant remnants|its splinter factions]]. The ''Eos'Mak''-pattern was the most common variant of the plasma pistol, often utilized by the frontline infantry like the Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and Yanme'e.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p291}} However, the design pattern is associated with an innumerable different sub-classes, much to the consternation of UNSC intelligence officers tasked with categorizing new variants.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} Certain sub-variants are equipped with tracking sights.{{Ref/Reuse|evg}}

===Usage===
===Plasma pistol===
The ''Eos'Mak''-pattern was the most common variant of the plasma pistol, employed across the Covenant and its splinter factions. It was commonly used by members of the lower caste, such as the Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and Yanme'e.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p291}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}}


==Non-canon and dubious canon appearances==
  Rate of fire: N/A (fully semi-automatic) (depends how fast you tap the trigger)

==Trivia==
===Plasma pistol (Halo 2)===
*In the PC version of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', if the player has a modified controller with rapid-fire functionality, they can fire the plasma pistol as fast as the second highest turbo setting, which is as fast as the [[MA5B assault rifle|assault rifle]]. However, it overheats extremely fast.
*In the ''Halo'' trilogy, if the player's plasma pistol is running low on battery, (less than 10%) when they fire it, then it will occasionally splutter and refuse to fire. This may be due to the fact that the power cell is unable to focus the remaining energy into a ball of plasma.
*After killing the [[Prophet of Regret]] on "[[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]" in ''Halo 2,'' he will drop a plasma pistol. He held the same weapon in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', and was rumored to keep it with him at all times in ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''.
*In [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|''Halo 2'' for Windows Vista]], it is possible to instantly destroy a {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}} by aiming an overcharged bolt at the metal flaps on the back of the Ghost's wings.
*In ''Halo 2'' for Windows Vista, if the player is carrying the plasma pistol and are in [[active camouflage]], one may see a polygon near the front of the weapon. In ''Halo 3'', while using active camouflage, one can see a square where the heat monitor is. This indicates the hologram is a polygon.
*In ''Halo 3'', if the player overcharges the plasma pistol and slowly release the trigger, it will not fire a shot. The plasma would slowly dissipate and disappear. This can be used as a way to prevent excess battery depletion when an overcharge shot is fired. The plasma pistol in PC versions cannot do this as the player is using a mouse to control the firing.
*In the "Extras" section of the ''[[Halo 3: The Official Strategy Guide]]'', it is stated incorrectly that the plasma pistol has a clip size of 10/100 when it does not have a clip size at all.
*In ''Halo 3'', it is the only [[dual-wield]]able weapon that does not cause less damage per shot when dual-wielded than when single wielded. (26 head/body shots single- or dual-wielded to kill with normal shields; as compared with the [[M6G magnum|M6G]] that takes 5 head or 8 body single-wielded but 7 head or 11 body when dual-wielded).
*In ''Halo 3'', if one looks at their shadow whilst holding a plasma pistol, one may notice a "cap" like protrusion on the back of the gun. This is actually the hologram on the gun that indicates if it is overheated.
*In the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|''Halo: Reach'' Multiplayer Beta]], the sound effect for an overcharged blast was the same as when a circuit is hit in ''[[Marathon]]''.

===''Halo 3''===
==Description==
<gallery>
Capable of quickly firing low-powered shots, or of firing a single high-powered blast which tracks its target to some degree. This blast is capable of immediately dissipating [[Spartans]]', [[Elites]]', and [[Jackals]]' shields. It holds five rounds to 1% battery, and 10 overcharges to 100% battery. It will also instantly destroy an unshielded [[Sentinel]] with one Overcharge shot. An overcharged shot will also usually knock down or kill a [[Combat Form|flood combat form]], buying the player time to switch to a more effective weapon. The Overcharged shot can kill [[Grunts]], [[Jackals]], and more on low difficulties. The low-powered shots, however, can be fired faster than those of the [[Plasma Rifle]]. It should be noted that in Halo 2, if one attacks an enemy in melee comabt while wielding this weapon, he/she will strike with his left fist instead of hitting the enemy with the weapon.

Overheats when fired rapidly for extended periods, and overcharge uses 11 percent of the charge. Also, the rounds are low-powered and the charged shot is not fully homing and dissipates at long distances. Battery can not be recharged.

===''Halo Online''===
The only saving grace with the Plasma pistol is the overcharge shot, which brings down shields instantly. It is useful to bring down the enemy's shields with an overcharge for a quick pistol headshot or melee kill. Also, it will bring down the driver of a vehicle's shields down with a single overcharge shot, leaving them extremely vulnerable. Its low powered shots have the longest range of non sniping/heavy weapons. However, their low speed makes them easy to avoid.

==List of appearances==
In Halo: Combat Evolved, the plasma pistol is very useful on higher difficulties, such as Legendary. A charged shot will not only take out an elite's shield, it will also temporarily incapacitate it making it stand still for a few seconds. A popular, effective strategy is to use the overcharge shot to take down and elite's shield to momentarily distract it, and then throw a plasma grenade to stick the immobile elite, giving an easy kill.

Many players find a combination of the Plasma Pistol and the Battle Rifle in [[Halo 2]] to be an excellent combination. A overcharge shot deteriates the shield, followed by a quick shot of the Battle Rifle is known to cripple foes.  This is generally frowned upon, however, and has become widely known as the "noob combo".  However, there are ways to defeat it - the slow overcharge is easy to avoid, and then you can swiftly bring down the wielder while his pistol overheats.
