Armored targets are able to withstand several overcharged bolts before being killed. The T25 Pistol also has the ability to charge a single superheated bolt, which can instantly deplete almost any form of energy shielding and temporarily disable mechanics. If the overcharged bolt were to hit an unarmored flesh target, it would result in an instant kill. Generally, three-four hits from either a Plasma Pistol or Plasma Rifle will kill a light or unarmored target such as a UNSC Marine. Should the bolt impact an object, the impact can also cause splash damage creating various debris that may come into contact with a target, which can burn, cripple, or kill nearby troops. Near misses can also cause injury to the target, as convection created by the shots can burn the intended target this can also lead to heat trauma or heat stroke due to the exposure to extreme temperatures. Adjacent body fluids are subjected to flash vaporization, inducing a strain or a shock on the body after impact, and the trapping of fluids in organs or blood vessels in addition to the rapid expansion of heat can cause ruptures or small explosions within the victim. The Plasma shot by the weapon can instantly cauterize wounds upon impact.
Injuries inflicted to a victim can include severe third-degree burns. It is the most commonly encountered Covenant weapon. The weapon's convenient size and efficiency makes it a prime choice as a standard-issue weapon for lower-ranking Covenant infantry such as Unggoy, Kig-Yar and Yamne'e, but also is occasionally used by higher ranking species within the Covenant such as Ossoona Sangheili, or vehicle drivers, from time to time. On the left side of the device is another small red button used to open the top heating vent, used to cool the weapon to prevent overheating and to allow access to the internal components of the weapon. Before the plasma pistol can be fired, the user must place his or her thumb on the pad, which activates the weapon and prepares it for use. The Type-25 DEP's functionality is straight forward the rear section of the pistol has a holographic display indicating weapon temperature during use-in the centre of the holographic display is a small red pad known as the Type-25 DEP's safety and activation mechanism.
The Type-25 DEP is a semi-automatic weapon using a single collimator design that gives the weapon its smooth and aerodynamic, claw-like appearance. The weapon is powered by a battery cell and has a power output of 100–150 kV at 0.2–0.3 A (20–45 kW), but when overcharged, the power output is 1.5 MV at 0.2–0.3 A (300–450 kW). The Plasma Pistol is a Covenant directed energy weapon reverse-engineered from Forerunner technology that uses a weaponized variant of plasma.
