It is not known exactly how the firing mechanism of the Plasma Pistol functions, but it has been suggested that an electrical current from the battery is passed between the 'prongs' ionising the surrounding gas into a [[plasma]] and this is then propelled forwards by an electro magnet. This is what causes the weapon to overheat - if the weapon used stored plasma it would super cool, not heat. However, this is speculation and it is still not known exactly how the weapon functions. | It is not known exactly how the firing mechanism of the Plasma Pistol functions, but it has been suggested that an electrical current from the battery is passed between the 'prongs' ionising the surrounding gas into a [[plasma]] and this is then propelled forwards by an electro magnet.
