Really? How'd you get the Plasma Pistol to work? I got the drain fine, but I had a
huge number of slots leftover, and the book says no slots are left. That and I was
very disappointed that a device that had a 100 shot capacity in the first book now
has only 5 shots before you have to recharge it. Battery pack is built in, which
is kinda lame. If there are indeed slots leftover (by my calculations, anyway)
this thing could use a bigger battery.
