Laser musket

The laser musket is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
The musket is one of the signature weapons of the game and one of its more interesting weapons. It is a single-shot laser weapon, whose biggest attraction is the fact that it can be modified to be cranked multiple times to fire the equivalent of up to six charges in one shot, which is exceptionally useful for breaking through high DR enemies.

When just giving it one crank, it is essentially a bolt-action laser rifle. The default sights are rather difficult to use, so modifying the sights are a good investment. Furthermore, bracketed barrels allow for the fitting of muzzle modifications. The rifle works best when configured as a long-range sniping rifle, where the player has time to crank it numerous times before firing the first shot, then switch to a different weapon. On the downside, there is no equivalent to a silencer for energy weapons.

Crafting
With the Contraptions Workshop add-on, laser muskets can be manufactured using a energy weapon forge.
