A plasma weapon is a type of weapon which uses plasma as a means to inflict damage or destroy enemy targets. Because of plasma's energetic nature, a plasma weapon could be considered a type of directed energy weapon. Among the races to develop plasma weapon technology are the Romulans and the Kazon. (DS9 episode: "Image in the Sand", VOY episode: "Maneuvers")

| - A plasma weapon is a type of weapon which uses plasma as a means to inflict damage or destroy enemy targets.

(DS9 episode: "Image in the Sand", VOY episode: "Maneuvers")
- Plasma weapons are used as short-range broadside weapons. The damage is caused primarily through heat and kinetic energy, similar to particle cannons. Plasma weapons, because of their nature, dissipate at longer ranges and are thus only effective at short to medium ranges. They are energy intensive and generate tremendous amounts of waste heat, which means their cycle rates are fairly slow, but the incredible damages of larger plasma cannons certainly offsets this weakness.
- Plasma weapons are weapons built by the Tau'ri using their knowledge of alien technologies. They were designed by Jay Felger and his assistant, Chloe. Originally intended to replace missiles on the X-303, they were never put into common use due to their power requirements and the fact they failed and burnt out on the first test. (SG1: "Avenger 2.0")
- Ship-mounted and hand-held directed energy plasma weapons fired plasma bullets, (ENT: "Fortunate Son", "Shadows of P'Jem") disruptor bursts, (DS9: "Change of Heart") modulating plasma pulses, (ENT: "Storm Front") concentrated plasma charges, (DS9: "Vortex") or a beam similar to phase weapon fire. (ENT: "Awakening") Some types of phasers that fired a forced plasma beam were also classified as plasma weapons. (TNG: "Descent" ) Plasma weapons were also used as torpedoes, bombs, and explosives. (TOS: "Balance of Terror" ; VOY: "Dragon's Teeth"; DS9: "The Darkness and the Light")
