Plasma Weapons

These weapons should also not be mistaken for the similar - but distinct - Plasma weapons employed by the Bansheeand Cyborg Commando during the Second Tiberium War, and later by many Scrin forces during the Third Tiberium War. Though similar, plasma weapons use magnetic fields to contain and launch discrete 'packets' or blasts of ionized gas as opposed to a coherent beam of charged particles; rarely, they can also fire a directed stream of plasma.
