Firing a cluster of superheated hydro-plasma energy bolts, each encased in a magnetic field, makes this weapon both light-weight and heat-efficient. Upon impact the hydro-plasma bursts and does light armor damage. Infantry, however without armor protections, takes catastrophic damage.

Likewise, if a target mech stands still, the plasma hits with the force of a train of cement trucks and then has a chance to get into joints and armor cracks making the plasma detonation very effective. The standard issue soaka gun is the most common mech ordinance available.
