I don't think anyone in any of our campaigns (since Traveller came out) has
ever SEEN an FGMP or PGMP outside of military service.
But...
You are letting your prejudices interfere again, Bertil. There is not any
good reason why you can't use a VERY SMALL amount of plasma, and so keep
the sound/light/shock/heat effects (relatively) small.
There is also little reason to believe you cannot fuse a SMALL amount of
hydrogen. That should suffice to limit the radiation effects.
Whether this would matter to a man outside of the nearest set of combat
armour is debatable. Notice that the rules do not state that a man can use
either a PGMP or FGMP without armour, just without POWERED armour.
