Description Well, to be honest, the look of the plasma weapons in XCOM 2 just didn't feel... right to me.  Maybe it's the fact that the plasma chamber is EXPOSED to the air outside, making the weapon take longer to charge up a shot.  Maybe it's the fact that the weapons that XCOM use don't feel HUMAN enough.  Or maybe it's because I just got bored out of my damn mind.  In any case, I have remade the plasma weapons, and even added a personal favorite of mine from the first game!  Counter-clockwise from top left: 

Light Plasma Rifle: Yes, I know it looks like the Doom plasma rifle.  It's a cool design, and it fits well with the rapid-fire carbine feel. 

Plasma Sniper Rifle: Showing a clear relationship with the last game's plasma sniper, this one just has that beefy look for whacking people upside the head with. 

Plasma Cannon: ...I tried.  I failed.  Oh well. 

Plasma Rifle: Directly based off the last game's plasma rifle, I still gave it a much more beefed up look, as well as points that you can slap the weapon parts onto. 

Plasma Shotgun: While I admit that it looks similar to the plasma shotgun used in game, this one I think has an enclosed chamber, and thus is sleeker, and therefor, more cooler. 

Plasma Pistol: .... Screw it.  I just can't f*****g draw handguns to save my arse. 

So there ya have it folks.  Any suggestions or concerns should be posted down below in the comments box, and I will be happy to get back to you and relieve you of those concerns.  Vigilo Confido!

Now as I am unfamiliar with the series are these canonical weapon designs or your own?

For the most part, they are close to, or at the least, inspired by canon weapon designs seen in game, save for the carbine which I took from Doom 2016.
