Protectron's Gaze

Protectron's Gaze is a unique weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
Protectron's Gaze is a unique variant of the AEP7 laser pistol. It is essentially a mini laser shotgun which fires a fairly tight spread of five laser beams while expending only one energy cell. This makes it analogous to the Metal Blaster, a laser shotgun which can be obtained in The Pitt.

It has a slightly slower rate of fire and a significantly smaller magazine (20 as opposed to 30) than the standard laser pistol. Protectron's Gaze can fire a total of 520 shots, or 26 full cells, before breaking.

Variants

 * AEP7 laser pistol, the common variant.
 * Smuggler's End, a unique variant that boasts much higher damage.
 * Colonel Autumn's laser pistol, Colonel Autumn's personal automatic sidearm.
 * Colonel Autumn's laser pistol (Broken Steel), the replacement for the above pistol if Broken Steel is installed.

Location
It is awarded after handing the AntAgonizer's armor to the Mechanist. The Mechanist states that the weapon is crafted from the parts of his loyal robot assistant that was killed by the AntAgonizer, the event that inspired him to become a superhero. The weapon cannot be obtained by killing him.
