A sidearm that fires short-range bolts of magnetically shaped plasma. On impact, it causes catastrophic thermal and hydrodynamic shock—melting, exploding, and setting the target on fire almost simultaneously. It's a brutally effective close-quarters weapon with a distinctive CRACK-HISSS sound and the lingering smell of ozone and cooked meat. Holstering one is a statement that you intend to leave behind sculptures of slag and ash.
Example: "His plasma igniter pistol didn't leave bullets; it left modern art. A hit to a security drone didn't disable it; the plasma bolt splashed across its chassis, fusing circuits, boiling its battery into an explosion, and leaving a beautiful, glassy crater of molten alloy in the wall behind it. Clean-up was a nightmare."
