I ask you this: What is plasma? It's a superheated gas so hot that the electrons are stripped from the atoms, resulting in an ionized gas. What would happen if you try to throw a ball of gas at something? It'll disperse. I've got one confirmed railgun in my arsenal, and a theoretical coilgun in the form of one incredibly badass pistol. Thinking of converting the rifle to a coil as well.

Halo logic can be applied to the plasma, I think.
