    CtNightrider:problem with plasma is collateral damage. you miss with a bullet it will hit a wall or the ground fairly quickly and not do much damage. but plasma with do a lot of damage to structures that you might not want destroyed.

    That's why you would use a carbine.

    what does the carbine shoot exactly. i never thought about that

    8.7 x 60mm caseless radioactive projectiles (composition unknown)

    Anti Matter would be far more viable as a weapon, 100% conversion of mass to energy.

    um ridiculously hard to contain and wouldnt it react with the air on its travel to the target? if used in space i guess so but im not sure if thats always the effect you want. maybe sometimes though.

    In the halo universe there is no "Plasma" accoding to bungie, it is something much, much worse

    It depends on what you're going for, and what type of anti-matter you use.

    Sure the easiest to obtain would be positrons, but those kill only after long-term exposure. Anti-protons are far more viable, but they are highly reactive and need to be travelling .99c around constantly shifting magnetic plates. So if you could contain it then yes this would be viable.

    I'd say more in a bomb though.

    ok i thought you meant like bullets. ya as i understand it (not very well) a bomb would work.

    No, plasma is not a gas.  

    There are four substances in the universe.

    Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma.  

    Plasma is its own substance.

    It's not gas or liquid or solid--it's just plasma.

     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter

     

    like i already knew their is so far 7 states of matter and more can be found/discover/made/etc.

     

     

    My thought on the whole viability of plama weaponry would be that yes we can and have plasma weaponry.

    We (the human race) do have plasma weaponry but when fired upon target a second shot after would be impossible for it can not legally pass through the same space that the first shot occupied.  This has something to do with the fact that a shield like resident is left in trail and well laws of physics would have to break to allow the second shot to follow suit.

    i think the whole thing with plasma is that it eliminates the need for a second shot, you know burning through people. and how long is the "shield" there?

     Well first off when you fire into many targets and some lines of fire are impossible that's kinda hard to fire at the remaining targets.

    Second the shield can last from to one photosecond up to 7-13 years. (I think. It's been a while since i studied the stuff.)
