I feel Plasmasturmgewehr is more appropiate. In German compund words,
the
core term is at the end - 'Gewehr' / rifle in this case.with
increasingly
finer distinctions towards the beginning. 'Sturmgewehr' is already
well-established, so 'Plasma' would be an additional qualification.
'Sturmplasmagewehr' would be formed if 'Plasmagewehr' / Plasma rifle
were a
common weapon (perhaps as a non-automatic type) and an assault version
was
developed later. The PSG also is easier to pronounce (OK;OK...for
Germans)
