Is the risk of gets hot on plasma pistols outweighed by S7 AP2? , if so , is it great enough to risk killing your librarian?

Plasma pistols usually aren't worth the points or the risk. There are better things he could be doing than shooting himself in the face with plasma pistols (although that model would look undeniably awesome).

plasma pistols are only good on multi wound IG chars IMO

Plasma pistols are great on random tac squad seargants, a fifteen point gun killing a 30 point biker or a 40 point termy is a good thing. Even if all you kill is one genestealer you are making your points back.

You have to make sure he gets that shot though.

unless you have my luck (i managed to roll 17 1's with only 20 dice) take it
