Talk:Laser rifle (Fallout: New Vegas)

Is the beam hitting a target behind that merc (by the looks of him) or is it still wildly innacurate outside of VATS. Genuine question, i couldnt make out the image.


 * Um... wildly innacurate? It has 0 spread, and very high max condition in FO3.  It's probably second only to the Sniper Rifle in terms of being a good standoff weapon.  --MadCat221 07:02, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

AER12?
it says it is a relitive of the aer9 and it has an adjustable focus any-one else thinking aer12.
 * Pretty plausible. We'll see. Ausir(talk) 10:40, June 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * The red glowey bits on the side elicit the feeling that it may be some sort of Magneto-Laser upgrade. --MadCat221 06:59, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Better Damage
I hope this Laser Rifle does more damage than the one in F3 did. It felt severly underpowered compared to F1 and F2.

It's actually vastly less useful...

That thing atop the rifle.
Is that some kind of computerized aiming system? 02:44, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Beam Splitter
It should be noted as a warning that the Beam Splitter causes the damage per shot to be divided over 3 beams. This means that each beam is less powerful than the original beam while all three beams together exceed the damage of the original beam. The warning in this is that each individual beam deals less damage and also has to deal with DT. A single shot from a split beam Laser Rifle would have to deal with DT three times!!! --Radnus 81.205.186.16 17:17, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Additional note: This does seem to apply the crit damage per beam instead of over the 3 beams if critical, thus greatly increasing the damage output for those who are crit orientated. --Radnus 81.205.186.16 19:28, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

This gun is awesome
All American was my favourite weapon, untill I modded this with the +damage and +scope. It's basicly a scoped fast-firing semi-auto with NO recoil. It does have somewhat low damage, but with max luck and perks, it crits about half of the times. I only have problem with extremely high DT targets like sentry bots.

What I find hilarious is that, once fully modded, it becomes a laser-sniper-shotgun...thingy. It's certainly all-purpose, but it seems that it's the one weapon that doesn't benefit from being fully modded.

New sound for this and the AER14

 * The sound of it firing is just something someone posted from the sound in Fallout 3. Can someone please upload the correct sound of it firing? Same for the AER14 prototype. Paladin Dark 00:37, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Beam splitter mod
I have the patched version of Fallout: New Vegas and it's quite questionable that if the laser rifle with the beam splitter applied does not split the beam. -- "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." 09:02, November 12, 2011 (UTC)
