It fires purple lasers that can deliver enormous amounts of damage to a single target at a time, and with an even wider range of auto-lock. Unfortunately, it generates huge amounts of heat, so you'll have to watch out for Overheating. It's not as much of an issue if you fire it manually, however.
It's available from Chapter 4 in Revenge of the Yolk. You can unlock this weapon for 75 in Ultimate Omelette and Cluck of the Dark Side. Even then, it won't appear until Chapter 5.
In Universe, it's unlocked from Tier 3.
Pros
Auto-locks and hits enemies instantly.
Deals massive continual damage, even on low power levels.
Unique to Chicken Invaders Universe, the Plasma Rifle's damage ramps up on targets. And at max ramp up, it deals area damage around a target being struck until that target is destroyed or the player stops firing or the target moves out of the "auto-lock cone".
Like other weapons, the Plasma Rifle exists as an item that can be bought either in the galactic shop or at Heroware stores. Its price in the galactic shop is 150 , and upgrades cost 4350 in total, with each one costing more than the previous one. Without upgrading, it weighs 460kg and uses up 120 KW of energy. After fully upgrading, it weighs 805kg and uses up 475 KW of energy.

Plasma Rifle is not available by default in Ultimate Omelette, because at one point in development it was intended to be replaced entirely by Positron Stream. It was left in the game as a last minute decision.
Before 0.30BETA in Revenge of the Yolk, it used to overheat faster.
