Forum:Silent Energy Weapons

So this is my idea for a stealthy energy weapon.

Many Fallout New Vegas players prefer the silent touch when it comes to killing their opponents, many people just use a Suppressed Sniper Rifle for a distant kill, then for CQB there is options such as the 12.7mm Pistol and SMG, 10mm Pistol, .45 Auto Pistol etc. Note that those are all guns, but what about the players who prefer energy weapons? What if you love the Laser Rifle, but you want that sweet set of T51-b power armor from a Brotherhood Paladin, but you don't want the Paladins around him to open fire? I thought of the Infared Laser Converter. A weapon mod attachable to the Laser Rifle, and Laser Pistol. And this attachment would make the laser completely, or mostly invisible, and also cause a 25% damage bonus to unarmored enemies (because Infared lasers are harmful to skin) and it would silence the weapon. I think this would be a very good addition to Fallout New Vegas because it would give energy weapon users the advantage of silence. So stealthy players wouldn't be forced to use guns or melee.

At this point it seems to be a perfect idea. The only con I can think of is that you can't see any sort of projectile flying towards enemies, but lasers are instant anyway right? There also doesn't seem to be any sort of way to make a silent plasma mod, but hey, you can't silence every gun in the game. So feel free to add any ideas for plasma, and your thoughts about the Infared Laser Converter. I believe Obsidian Entertainment has no reason not to make this weapon modification, even if they couldn't add it to New Vegas for some reason, they could always consider it in the next game.
