Plasma gun: very rapid rate of fire, powerful, beautiful :-). Like an energy
version of the chaingun, but faster. Bullets can be seen as large glowing
pulses as they go off into the distace. Sounds nice too.
BFG: Very slow. Takes like a second after you press fire to charge up and
shoot. Like a VERY big rocket launcher. When it fires, it sounds kinda like
those fighters from Battlestar Galactica taking off...
Of all the weapons available, the plasma gun is my favorite. Shotgun comes
a close second...
