Semi-Automatic Shotgun Descriptions Geth Plasma Shotgun: This unusual weapon has only recently been seen in the hands of Geth forces on this side of the Perseus Veil. As a full-round action the user may ‘charge up’ the weapon — the next attack made with it causes electrical damage, and automatically reduces the DR of any shields that the target is wearing to zero before damage is inflicted (after which they begin recharging normally).
