Gamma gun

The gamma gun is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Background
Surrounded by deadly radioactive fallout out in the wasteland, it comes as no surprise that survivors harness nuclear radiation as a lethal weapon. This has resulted in the gamma gun, a hand held pistol that sends a pulse of high frequency gamma radiation to irradiate targets. The weapons is especially popular with the Children of Atom who use Atom's glow to decimate those before them.

Characteristics
The gamma gun is really only useful against humans without particularly protective armor, given that super mutants, ghouls, and a majority of mutated creatures are immune to radiation. Still, it can be made much more lethal to these specific enemies with its variety of modifications.

Crafting
With the Contraptions Workshop add-on, gamma guns can be manufactured using an energy weapon forge.
