It is the only original DOOM weapon that will not be usable in DOOM: Reawakened.

However, rather than being based on a real firearm design, the gun is made up of photographs of a Tootsie-Toy 'Dakota' cap gun, a popular type of toy gun that was made from the 1980s to the 1990s and is not based on any particular real-world firearm. Cell charges are used as ammunition and for powering up the weapon. One of the earliest available weapons in any Doom title is its famous pump-action shotgun.

I shoots a rapid fire of blue luminous energy called plasma, which is capable of burning any foes in its path. Around that time, the Plasma Gun was still undergoing experimentation and did not receive proper field testing until one was obtained by Doomguy during the demonic outbreak. Its place of origin was the Deimos Science Facility sometime between the years 20. I was one of the first energy-fired weapons designed by the Union Aerospace Corporation. As no adapted or new levels are added to this pack: small 1 for the shown technical skills only. Note that if you create a weapon pack which works different than the DooM standard weapons, then you have to adapt existing levels too - or create new ones.

Mad Squirrel Mods decided to dub the original Plasma Gun as the Plasma Gun Mk. This pack ruins DooM gameplay completely. Meanwhile, the Plasma Gun from the original games is said to return in DOOM: Eternal. In the franchise's few reincarnations, the weapon itself had been changed in appearance, starting with the Plasma Gun in DOOM 3. This was the very first Plasma Gun introduced to the DOOM franchise.
