The plasma rifle is a very good weapon. On accuracy it has the best Auto and Snap fire of all the weapons in the game (although curiously the Heavy Plasma is more accurate when aimed) and powerful enough to kill most aliens with one shot.
Although there is nothing wrong with this weapon, it is rarely used, because the heavy version is better in most respects. The aliens have apparently bought the argument that the heavy plasma is better and tend to abandon other plasma weapons a few months into the invasion. Consequently, if X-Com wants to use the plasma rifle, it often has to use up precious elerium manufacturing ammunition for it.
