Talk:Plasma turret (disambiguation)
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
- The "spear of plasma" sounds to me like sphere of plasma, which implies a round circular shape cimilar to a "ball of super heated plasma". You'll note there are several other spelling errors throughout the article, so reading between the lines is necessary. As for the article itself, this sounds like either a pulse turret or a plasma torpedo, but could be justified. From what I can tell, the Covenant plasma torpedo is a tracking ball of plasma that dissipates when the firing ship is destroyed. Now, when the ships at Reach release their plasma, it doesn't dissipate after the ships are destroyed and turns several Super MAC guns to molten slag. From this, one could infer two things, either this is a new weapon being mentioned, or a discrepency. I like the new weapon theory better.--Rot 01:05, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
All the plasma turrent is just the smallest weapon on a covenant vessel, and all of the turrents look alike?--Darth nexes 23:23, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Any one can edit this page, if you feel this is not acurit data you can change it, I did not add phisics, and no it is not the same as a plasma torpedo, this is just a weapon for taking out starfighters--Darth nexes 05:10, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- I will add physics. And there is nothing that says the turret is an AA gun. In fact, they missed a C709 'Sword and a Pelican over the remnants of Alpha Halo in First Strike. Cheers, RelentlessRecusantFile:Jedi Order.jpg 17:51, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
isnt this the same weapon that is known as the Pulse Laser Turret --User:J!MMY8806 00:20, 23 December 2006
It is my belief that, since we see some plasma dissipating when a ship is destroyed (the plasma torpedo, as this plasma is guided), while we also see some plasma just continue on its course as a sort of blob after its ship is destroyed (like those fired at the Super MAC guns at Reach by kamakazees), that thus the Plasma Turret and Plasma Torpedo are separate weapons. I don't know about size, but they are separate. And the Pulse Laser Turret is a laser used for point defense, not a blob of plasma, thus separating the Plasma Turret and the Pulse Laser Turret.
