The Plasma Pistol is the weakest of the alien plasma weapons, and also the least accurate. An aimed shot with this weapon is in fact less accurate than a snapshot with the Plasma Rifle. It does have some minor advantages: its autoshot is the fastest of the plasma weapons, and it can be used one-handed with no loss of accuracy. It is also small enough to fit in a belt, which makes it a respectable secondary weapon for a soldier armed with a Rocket Launcher.

It does not take very long for the aliens to stop using this weapon. They have good reasons to abandon it: it is largely useless against the second generations of X-COM armour suits and HWPs. Unfortunately, this means X-COM does not have a reliable supply of clips for the weapon, so they must be manufactured if they are needed, and this requires Elerium.
