"MagMet PS32-B is a man-portable anti-armor tool meant for close quarters encounters. Capable of outputting an ionized jet up to one hundred centrimeters long, it can slice most metals and even some ceramics with ease. However, due to the small fuel cylinders and dual-gas mode of operation effective use time is only few seconds per trigger."
Tried my hand in making the standard sci-fi plasma sword with a more realistic approach. Instead of hidden gas cylinders, they now serve as makeshift crossguard for parrying strikes from bladed weapons. Adjustment valves on the sides of the mixer block allow the user to finetune the amount of oxygen and inert shielding gas supplied to the blade. High-capacity battery and power inverter are housed within sturdy rubberized polymer grip, and can be recharged from a waterproof input port at the rear of the assembly.
Blackbody effects and volumetric blade added in Blender.
