Glock 86 Plasma Pistol. Designed by the Gaston Glock artificial intelligence. Shoots a small bolt of superheated plasma. Powered by a small energy cell.Fallout and Fallout 2 description

The Glock 86 plasma pistol is an energy weapon in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Background[]

Main article: Plasma pistol

A European design, the Glock 86 was designed before the Great War by an artificial intelligence named after Gaston Glock, the company's founder and most influential engineer. It is a large energy handgun, shooting a small bolt of superheated plasma generated in its magnetic housing chamber, using an internal power cell rechargeable with small energy cells. The chamber can be realigned to reduce drain on the internal energy cell and double capacity.[1] Accuracy at range is improved by the inclusion of a scope, mounted above the housing chamber.[2]

Characteristics[]

The Glock 86 plasma pistol is a powerful energy-based handgun, being able to punch through many low-level critters and most types of armor with ease. Even late into Fallout 2, it still deals a decent amount of damage to wanamingos and Enclave soldiers.

Variants[]

In Fallout 2, its magnetic housing chamber can be realigned, resulting in extended charge capacity.

Behind the scenes[]

Glock pistols are named sequentially, in the order they were submitted for patent protection. Glock 17 was the first sidearm produced by the company, but the 17th patent, thus the name. As such, the Glock 86 suggests there were at least 86 patented products produced by the company by the time the 86 was introduced. As of 2024, the latest pistol is the Glock 49.
