Helios F-1 'Furnace' Plasma Pistol
Compact plasma sidearm; devastating at close range but prone to overheating with rapid fire.
The F-1 'Furnace' is Helios Foundry's entry-level plasma sidearm, a weapon that trades the precision of las for the raw, scarring brutality of superheated matter. At close range, a Furnace bolt will punch through armour and leave cauterised wounds that resist conventional field medicine. The trade-off is heat: the Furnace's compact containment system struggles to dissipate thermal buildup, and rapid fire risks a dangerous overheat cycle. Experienced users learn to pace their shots; the reckless learn the hard way. Despite its limitations, the Furnace's sheer stopping power makes it popular with boarding parties and close-quarters specialists.
