R95

The Skynet Plasma R95 is a Westinghouse first generation plasma rifle developed by Skynet and used by T-800 and T-825. It serves as the precursor to the second generation V96. Note that continuous fire will temporarily overheat the weapon.

Technical Overview

The rifle is designed to fire bolts of energized red plasma in the 40 watt range. These rifles can be found on fallen Skynet troops like the T-800. Most T-800 units carry one, while T-825 Terminators carry two of the rifles.

Though this rifle and the V96 look similar, but the ammo is different. The V96 ammunition is violet, more compact and packs a much stronger punch, where as this one can do damage to units like Silverfish and Spider Scout units with two shots and takes several shots to take down models like the T-800 and many more to deal with the T-850.

Behind the Scene

The R95 and V96 share the same design model similar to Westinghouse M-25 Phased Plasma Pulse Rifle, but their ammo are different as the R95 uses Red Plasma, while the V96 uses Violet/Purple Plasma.
