Zen Armaments Plasma Fuel Cell

The Zen Armaments Plasma Fuel Cell is a small, grip-shaped storage container originally created to fuel the plasma gun underbarrel of the Zen Automatic Rifle Compact Type 39.

Statistics

Zen's plasma fuel cell is capable of housing a compact and highly efficient mix of plasma creating material. While its most common uses are to refill the ZARCNAM and act as a side-mounted grip for the weapon, one could theoretically rig an electronic pulse-like device to the fuel cell to overload and activate the charge of the plasma. A much longer, block-like version exists that is capable of fulfilling the role of two of these, though it essentially becomes a poor or even impossible gripping point. It can be compared to the magazine of the Sten Submachine Gun in size.

Appearance

Roughly a few inches long, the plasma cell is generally a two-tone colored grip-shaped canister. A slide-like button can be seen near its nozzle, while a grip surface rolls around a majority of the plastic coating that surrounds its metal body. One can identify whether the charge is fully inserted by looking for a green ring that runs around its nozzle, fully hidden when properly loaded into a gun.

Special Usage

An unconventional grenade in the right hands, the plasma fuel cell is quickly able to be adjusted into a grenade. With an electric fuse-like ring fitted around its attachment point, the cell can be twisted and tossed. Unless the button is held down, the cell will ignite after 5 seconds, allowing someone to even reset its fuse. While it lacks proper shrapnel, the handle and the plasma stored inside combine to make it essentially a high-tech frag grenade.

Pricing

50 DA for standard version. 75 DA for extended version.
