Maybe it's just me, but that whole "terror" thing just doesn't do it for me.

I don't see anything inherently more terrifying about a plasma gun as
compared to a gauss rifle.  You're just as dead, and the gauss rifle
is a lot harder to pinpoint as compares to a huge, hot (shows up
nicely on thermals) weapon that spits fireballs at a slow rate of
fire.

IMNSHO terror is a thing for draftees or green troops.
