-*A charged blast from the Plasma Pistol can drain the shield of any Spartan or Elite, even when they have an [[overshield]].
+*A charged blast from the Plasma Pistol can even drain the shield of an [[overshield]]ed Spartan or Elite.
 *The Plasma Pistol was designed by [[Robt McLees]].{{fact}}
 *In the popular machinima series [[Red vs. Blue]], Medical Officer "Doc" Dufresne uses the plasma pistol as a medical device of some kind. It seems to have the abilities of multiple medical tools rolled into one. It is also used as a switch to accidentally activate a thirty megaton bomb in the robot that Private Church was possessing at the time.

 * In [[Halo 3]], it is the only [[dual-wield]]able weapon that does not cause less damage per shot when dual wielded then when single wielded. (26 head/body shots single or dual wielded to kill with normal shields; as compared to the M6G that takes 5 head or 8 body single wield but 7 head or 11 body when dual wielded).
 *In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], if you remain idle while wielding a Plasma Pistol, [[Master Chief]] will pull off the top off the pistol, showing what seems to be a power cell. In [[Halo 3]], this happens if it is overcharged.
-*In Halo CE, if your plasma pistol is running low on energy, (less then 10%) when you 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.

+*This is the only weapon, along with the Plasma Rifle, that appears in every level of the halo trilogy.
-*It is also possible to have a zero percent energy bar, as 3 shots deplete 1% of your battery, to fire an overcharged shot. However, it does not always work and can result in mere plasma blooming and overheating.

 *In ''[[Halo 3]]'', if you look at your shadow whilst holding a plasma pistol, you 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 book [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] the Plasma Pistol seems to be much more powerful, capable of killing the target and the user at point blank range. It is also mentioned to have more power in other books then it does in the games, though not to the extent of [[Fall of Reach]].
 *In the ''[[Halo 2]]'' E3 2003 Demo, the Plasma Pistol's firing sounds are that of a [[Plasma Rifle]] just as they did in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]].
-*In a deleted scene from Halo 2, Gunnery Sergeant Stacker uses a plasma pistol to take down the shields of an Elite and a member of his ODST squad uses a Battle Rifle to kill it, effectively using the [[Noob Combo]].
