−	Plasma weapons use the power of the [[fusion engine]] or [[Power Amplifier|power amplifier]]s to power an electromagnetic accelerator to a stream, pulse, or toroid of plasma (i.e. very hot, energetic, and excited matter). The plasma is created by using a lasing process to flash cartridges of plastic foam into white-hot projectiles that cause thermal, as well as physical, damage. Because this foam ammo is inert, it will not explode even if destroyed.<ref>''Total Warfare'', p. 139</ref>	+	Plasma weapons use the power of the [[fusion engine]] or [[Power Amplifier|power amplifier]]s to power an electromagnetic accelerator that fires a stream, pulse or toroid of plasma (i.e. very hot, energetic, and excited matter).

−	The primary damage mechanism is thermal transfer; the weapon causes serious burns, and often immediate death of living creatures, melting or evaporating other materials. The plasma weapons may also have a significant kinetic energy component, wherein ionized material is projected with sufficient momentum to cause secondary impact damage, in addition to causing high thermal damage.	+	The primary damage mechanism of these is thermal transfer; the weapon causes serious burns, and often immediate death of living creatures, and melts or evaporates other materials.
