Re: Plasma Delivery Bullets

This would be a combination of both. Usable in a standard weapon, but creates a shaped (and maybe more intense) plasma charge rather than wide area effect. I'd expect that it would take far less plasma and thus be cheaper.

Naruni plasma loads shoot a thousand feet and up. What if you only had to shoot 1 foot of plasma? Package it in a regular bullet and have the plasma go off at impact. Not like a wide area plasma grenade, but a tightly focused, narrow, short, plasma jet? Wouldn't it also be cheaper? Have armor pierci...
