Is this fight happening under the rules/laws present in the video game you're referencing? If so, then a lot of this would make more sense. If not, then I still need to say that yes, plasma is an ionized gas, but it is also electrically charged, and highly electrical in nature. I'd imagine a gun able to generate the energy required to ionize the gas within it without the need of some monstrous portable battery, would also have the tech to get the most out of each shot from the plasma rifle. Speaking technologically anyways
id say its safe to assume a plasma rifle is moving faster than sound, which run of the mill guns are capable of doing now.
