−	The '''man-portable plasma rifle''' (M-PPR) was originally created by [[Ceres Arms]] as a portable anti-[[battle armor]] weapon for [[infantry]] of the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]].  A hybrid ballistic/energy weapon, the weapon works by using a lasing process to convert plastic-foam cartridges into white-hot plasma then launching them through a ceramic-lined rifle tube towards the enemy where, upon impact, they splash across the target and cause damage through incendiary effects.  The high energy and velocity of the plasma bolts allow them to burn through armor with almost the same effectiveness as a [[Small Laser]].<ref name=CE>''Combat Equipment'', p. 16</ref><ref name=TM267>''TechManual'', p. 267</ref>	+	The '''Man-Portable Plasma Rifle''' (M-PPR) was originally created by [[Ceres Metals Industries/Ceres Arms|Ceres Arms]] as a portable anti-[[Battle Armor]] weapon for [[infantry]] of the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]].  A hybrid ballistic/energy weapon, the weapon works by using a lasing process to convert plastic-foam cartridges into white-hot plasma then launching them through a ceramic-lined rifle tube towards the enemy where, upon impact, they splash across the target and cause damage through incendiary effects.  The high energy and velocity of the plasma bolts allow them to burn through armor with almost the same effectiveness as a [[Small Laser]].<ref name=CE>''Combat Equipment'', p. 16</ref><ref name=TM267>''TechManual'', p. 267</ref>
