The Prisma Angstrum is the Prisma variant of the Corpus-built rocket pistol, Angstrum.
Characteristics
This weapon deals high amounts of Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.
- Advantages:
- Very high base damage for pistols
- Each rocket explodes roughly at a blast radius of 3m.
- Has two firing modes; single or charged shot.
- Charged shot fires extra projectiles.
- Single shot has very good accuracy.
- High status chance at close-medium range with charged attack due to firing all rockets at once.
- Can be fired with a partial charge to fire only part of its magazine.
- Disadvantages:
- Very high recoil generated with every shot.
- Weapon cannot be kept charged. It shoots immediately after being fully charged.
- Must reload after each full charge.
- Charged barrage spreads rockets out, reducing the effective range considerably.
- Dangerous to use in close quarters, as a charged shot can potentially kill the player.
- Rockets can explode on teammates, which can cause lethal self-damage.
- Has an extremely limited amount of maximum ammo (30).
- Difficult to use charged shots at long range due to spread.
- Impractical for crowd-control due to rocket blast radii often overlapping, causing wasted projectiles. Magnum Force can help reduce this deficiency, as can a good sniping spot.
- Rockets have a short delay after firing before being able to fire again.
- Multishot will cause partially-charged shots to spread out further, eliminating its long range potential.
- Small projectile size and slow projectile speed can make long range shots difficult.
- Though small and fast, the projectiles can be struck in mid-air. Like the Ogris, this causes them to explode prematurely.
- Potential for a charged barrage to chain-react, with potentially lethal results if user is caught by multiple overlapping blast areas.

Notes
- The Prisma Angstrum's extremely fast charge rate before firing a full rocket swarm can allow players to eschew fire rate mods that would otherwise be needed on the normal variant, allowing for better damage-based builds.
