Plasma Gun? I don’t recall diamond coating making ranged weapons stronger, I think it only increases the cutting power of bladed weapons.

I’ll take a look through my gun locker after I get done updating, but I think my plasma rifle uses hydrogen as ammo. I was wrong, though, since hydrogen TANKS and hydrogen CANISTERS are not the same thing, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to convert all my tanks into actually useful canisters.
edit: The PPA-5 plasma rifle uses solid hydrogen as ammunition along with UPS power. It uses hydrogen canisters to reload, which kinda sucks because I just used the last of mine to make growing cold mass.

Lore wise the 2 hydrogen containers contain different forms of hydrogen
