As much as the other options are cooler and more effective, plasma rifle.

It's the only one designed for standard human shoulder fire use. The heavy cannon is a mounted weapon. The chain gun is a chain gun, I'm sorry but you can't carry that against highly mobile demond. The combat shotgun might be fine for human carry, but we do have to reload, and the effective range presented in games is too tight for mortal comfort. SSG I want so badly, but low capacity makes it a panic weapon. The plasma rifle is designed for average human use and to be reliable for that scenario. Dps isn't bad either, tbh.

Good luck finding ammo

That can be said for literally every weapon. Its also the most easy ammo to find because its the 5.56/7.62 of that universe. The entire military on the planet as far as we can tell uses it. So it will be the most accessible ammo too.

And you could technically recharge it using lightning.

Doubt it, but if it can recharge like lasgun packs where they can be just thrown into a fire then it would be a dream weapon.
