Crikey. I have no idea. I don’t know much about plasma – you probably know more than I do.

No idea, sorry… I hope one of the other scientists has an answer for you.

Yes, but not a very good one. All attemps to make long-range plasma-based weapons have failed. There is one device under research in the US though, called the PEP (pulsed energy projectile), which is non-leathal and might be used for crown control.
