[Pure Technology Post] Q: About plasma weapon.

The "plasma gun", that is, plasma weapon, is basically an unreliable thing. First of all, plasma is a macroscopic electrically neutral ionized gaseous substance, which cannot cause current damage. Secondly, to be used as a weapon, it must have a certain energy density. Let's assume that there is such a weapon that can generate several kilograms or even dozens of kilograms of plasma instantly, and it can be saved as a ball to accelerate the ejection from the muzzle. However, as soon as the high-temperature and high-pressure plasma enters the space near the vacuum state, it will spread immediately and finally hit the target, which will at most cause short circuit or breakdown of unprotected electronic equipment, but it will never make the target explode. In reality, the damage of plasma to materials is mainly high temperature damage, so high temperature plasma is usually used for welding, smelting and other purposes. Finally, movies like Star Wars should be treated critically. At least the chirping of laser weapons is a big joke. When have you ever seen a flashlight … or a laser pointer chirp?
