In the future war between man and machine, SKYNET's endoskeleton forces wield deadly weapons designed to efficiently terminate human resistance fighters. One of the most effective is the 40-Watt Phased Plasma Rifle, which fires superheated hydrogen compresseed to a plasma state. A pilot laser in the weapon vaporizes a path through the atmosphere to the target a microsecond before the actual bolt is produced. The plasma bolt then follows the laser beam to the target at a velocity in excess of 8500 meters per second. The weapon is capable of a rate of fire superior to the common resistance weaponry, with minimal risk of overheating or weapon shutdown. Armor is easily penetrated by the super hot plasma bolt which can burn its way through more than a quarter-meter of case-hardened steel.Striking an organic target with the plasma bolt will almost certainly result in fatality, including the possibility of explosion or neatly cauterized amputation. A near miss can inflict third degree burns, and 'splash damage' can be as devastating as a traditional granade blast
