Overview

Some say this is an outdated technology as plasma travels at sub-light speed, and current laser systems are more powerful. Plasma projectors are compact and easily cooled, but suffer from slow cycle rates and are resistent to upscaling in size. Plasma projector technology is still used extensively by the Navy in turretted anti-fighter defence systems.

Sparkler is a Slang term for a plasma cannon.
