You could've just given us a description of what it does, instead of not just post a YouTube link, you know...

^ A video is actually very illustrative. PErhaps description and a video, but the video is useful.

Regarding the plasma gun itself, keeping this thread on-rails - it's a nice idea, essentially a plasma based minigun with the progressive speed increase.

I feel the jump to max-speed is a bit... odd. It seems like it's possibly too fast for anything except boss monsters; also, it seems like it takes possibly a little too long before it's activated to make it truly useful. Have you tested this in actual levels to see how it fares?

Finally, those blip sounds are very harsh and unpleasant, as if the plasma gun wasn't noisy enough already! :P

Perhaps it will be better if you increase the maximum round before cool off from 100 to 200. Just about to start enjoying to fire blindly, it blocks my joyful shooting experience even before I kill a Cyberdemon.

Plus, cooling time is a little bit too long. You may consider to modify the timer of it.

That's actually a really interesting idea, I played Xaser's Parkour Doom mod in a DM earlier today and the chaingun works in a similar fashion. Once it goes fullspeed it's quite a formidable force!
