It seems like the plasma launcher fires plasma grenade like projectiles. They also fall over time indicating that they have some mass that can be affected by gravity, unlike directed energy weapons.
The Wraith's Plasma Projectile arcs.
The official information about it also states that the Plasma Launcher does, indeed, shoot Plasma Bolts.
It shoots plasma grenades, hence the name. They can be called bolts just like how arrows for a crossbow are called bolts.
As for the wraith, it is likely very dense plasma, explaining the arc.It's name is the Plasma Launcher, not Plasma Grenade Launcher. If it did, indeed, shoot grenades, how come it doesn't reload, like the Fuel Rod or Brute Shot? How come it has a battery?
The Plasma Rifle, Pistol, Repeater, etc. shoots Plasma Bolts. It is essentially the name given to globules of Plasma.
