Missing laser pistol

The missing laser pistol is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The missing laser pistol is a unique version of the laser pistol that is only found during the unmarked quest Pistol Packing. It also has the same stats as the standard laser pistol with the exception of lower damage and critical damage.

Unlike the laser pistol, it is also possible to use the iron sights on this weapon. However, the missing laser pistol cannot use any of the energy cell's variants, such as energy cell, over-charge.

Variants

 * Laser pistol, the common variant.
 * GRA laser pistol, although identical to the standard laser pistol, this weapon is capable of accepting weapon modifications.
 * Pew Pew, Allen Marks' custom variant and de facto reward for finding 60 Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle caps.
 * Compliance Regulator, a unique laser pistol that paralyzes a target on hit.

Location
Talking to the Paladin in charge of the firing range will lead you to talk to Initiate Stanton, who was the last person to use the weapon.

The missing laser pistol is found in Scorpion Gulch on a large rock in the middle of the gulch, next to the corpse of a wastelander. It will not appear until you have read the note from Knight Torres, and spoken to Initiate Stanton about the pistol and him having left it at Scorpion Gulch.
