Plasma Blaster
ShipIt:
Even 10 TUs means the alien always shoots first. But maybe I am just in love with the Plasma Rifle too much :D.
Sarin:
Ball mode is odd. It is fast and powerful, but with limited range and inaccurate. In my experience when used by aliens, it's more dangerous to them than anyone else as they get splashed way too often, I even had situations where aliens blasted themselves to bits with it. Other fire modes are just crap.
Overall, I prefer spending those TU to grab a nade from belt and throw it and use better primary weapon.
Triaxx2:
It's a pretty terrible close weapon that's beaten so thoroughly by the Plasma PISTOL. With thirty-one TU, I can crouch and fire seven reasonably accurate shots, not a single one of which will trigger reaction fire.

Against an armoured Taman, you will do 105 damage if all seven shots hit the target. With the Plasma Blaster you would do 155 damage for 10 TU if you hit the target.
Your assertion that you can fire your pistol seven times with no reaction fire is either not true or a bug. Reaction fire is triggered by cumulative TU use in view of the target. The counter does not reset for each shot fired.
Anarch Cassius:
Or just a lucky break. Sometimes the enemy has nearly full TU for reaction other times none at all depending on what they did.
