The plasma rifle is a very good weapon, fair outclassing the lesser Plasma Pistol. 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 it's powerful enough to kill most aliens with one shot.

Although there's 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 continue to use the plasma rifle, Elerium has to be used in manufacturing ammunition for it.
