Plasma Weapons operate by converting normal gases or fuel materials into an energized state of matter known as plasma, the stuff of the stars themselves.
等离子武器通过将普通气体或燃料材料转化为被称为等离子体的能量态来运作，等离子体是恒星本身的物质。
Overview 概述
Plasma weapons utilize the same technology as found in plasma reactors and drives: hydrogen fuel is held suspended in a photonic state, typically in a sturdy flask or backpack container, before being fed into the weapon's miniature fusion core and energised into a plasma state. This plasma is then contained by powerful magnetic fields until the weapon is fired, whereupon it is ejected via a linear magnetic accelerator to form a bolt of superheated matter in appearance and temperature much like a solar flare (giving rise to the nickname "sun gun"). Upon impact tremendous energy is released akin to a small sun, destroying the target through searing heat and explosive shock in an almighty explosion.
等离子武器使用与等离子反应堆和驱动器中相同的技术：氢燃料通常以光子态悬浮在一个坚固的瓶子或背包容器中，然后被送入武器的微型聚变堆芯并被激发成等离子体状态。然后，这种等离子体被强大的磁场包围，直到武器发射，然后通过线性磁力加速器喷射出来，形成一团外观和温度都很像太阳耀斑的过热物质（产生了“日光枪”的绰号）。撞击后，会释放出巨大的能量，类似于一个小太阳，通过灼热温度和爆炸冲击在极大爆炸中摧毁目标。
While incredibly destructive plasma weapons are a mostly lost technology from the standpoint of the contemporary Imperium of Man, seen as relics of another age. Their workings are a mystery for the most part, and only a select few circles of the Adeptus Mechanicus know how to construct them. Even among the Space Marine Chapters these weapons are considered uncommon, with the Dark Angels maintaining the largest inventory and the knowledge necessary to construct more; Space Marine plasma weapons also use hydrogen in higher quantum state than standard models, pushing the limits of their own resilience. Most existing plasma weapons are hundreds if not thousands of years old and those few new ones constructed are done so individually, requiring extensive blessing and rituals by the Machine God before use.
虽然从当代人类帝国的角度来看，极具破坏性等离子武器是一项几乎失传的技术，被视为另一个时代的遗物。它们的运作在很大程度上是一个谜，只有少数几个机械神教团体知道如何制造它们。即使在星际战士中，这些武器也被认为是不常见的，黑暗天使拥有最大的库存量和建造更多武器所需的知识；星际战士等离子武器也使用比标准型号更高量子态的氢，突破了其自身恢复力的极限。大多数现有的等离子武器即使不是数千年，也有数百年的历史，而那些为数不多的新武器是单独建造的，在使用前需要万机神的大量祝福和仪式。
Imperial plasma weapons also have a number of drawbacks to their use as well, chief among which is the tremendous energy necessary to fire them; because of this limitation, the heavy plasma gun has an alternative low energy setting, though less effective than a full-powered blast, allows for more rapid firing. Plasma weapons also tend to lose accuracy over long ranges, while the photohydrogen fuel core gives off tremendous amounts of heat when fired, requiring the firer to wait for the core to cool and recharge before firing again. The magnetic containment field is difficult to maintain or replace, and if it fails the plasma within can become unstable and cause a catastrophic meltdown. Plasma fuel flasks are also only good for ten shots normally and cannot be reused, requiring a time-consuming process to swap them out with fresh flasks.
帝国等离子武器的使用也有许多缺点，其中最主要的是发射它们所需的巨大能量；由于这一限制，重型等离子枪有一种替代的低能耗设置，虽然不如全功率爆炸有效，但可以实现更快速的射击。等离子武器在长距离射击时也往往会失去准确性，而光氢燃料堆芯在发射时会释放出大量的热量，这要求开火者等待堆芯冷却和充电后才能再发射。磁力控制力场很难维护或更换，如果它失效，内部的等离子体可能会变得不稳定，导致灾难性的熔毁。等离子燃料瓶通常也只能发射十次，不能重复使用，需要耗时的过程才能将其换成新的燃料瓶。
