==Description==
 
The introduction of [[Battle Armor]] to the [[Inner Sphere]] has cast much doubt on the usefulness of standard infantry. To boost the hitting power of their conventional infantry forces the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] called on the members of their [[Trinity Alliance]] to develop infantry portable weaponry.  In response, [[Ceres Metals Industries/Ceres Arms|Ceres Arms]] created the '''Man-Portable Plasma Rifle'''.{{cn}}
 
 
 
The rifle is effectively a rugged ceramic tube, an energy coupler, and a cooling system, and uses both battery power and ammunition. The ammunition is a Plastic-Foam cartridge that is converted to plasma by a laser and sent out the barrel towards its target. The wide dispersion and high heat of the plasma allows the weapon to be effective against armored targets.{{cn}}
