The holorifle is a weapon.

Background
The Holorifle, along with other model types, was constructed by Father Elijah.

Characteristics
It is a scoped, pump-action energy weapon. The scope is similar in effect to that of night-vision scope modifications obtainable for other weapons. During the day the holorifles' scope is similar to a laser rifles' (with scope modification) but at night the scope turns into a night vision lens.

The weapon is unique in the sense that its projectile is neither bullet, plasma, laser, flame, pulse, or electricity. Since the holorifle is based on hologram technology, it most likely fires a solid light-based energy projectile, meaning it is more along the level of a particle weapon. On impact the projectile does a special "Holorifle damage" effect, causing an additional 15 damage over a duration of 3 seconds (similar to the "flame damage" done by a Flamer or Incinerator) along with a knock-back effect. As with most other energy weapons, the Holorifle's projectile will ignite any gas traps and other flammable hazards that it passes through.

The Holorifle uses microfusion cells as ammunition, with loading taking place via an under-barrel tubular magazine, where up to four microfusion cells are loaded. Due to the gun having an internal magazine, it is reloaded by hand one cell at a time, so expect longer reload times when compared to other energy weapons, even with the rapid reload perk. However, it can be interrupted mid-way through reloading and fired if needed. Because of this, it gives the weapon the advantage of being quickly available to fire again if only a single or few rounds are needed.

Due to the uniqueness of the Holorifle and its technology, it cannot be repaired by any other weapon even with the Jury Rigging perk. The only available options for repair are weapon repair kits and merchants.

Location
It is now in the possession of Sam, who is known to wander the wastes.
