The Protectron's Gaze is a unique weapon in the Fallout 4 add-on Automatron.

Characteristics

This modified laser pistol is Isabel Cruz' (a.k.a. The Mechanist's) personal sidearm. It benefits from the "rapid" enhancement, allowing a 25% faster rate of fire, as well as a 15% faster reload speed. The pistol comes pre-equipped with a maximized capacitor, a short barrel, a standard grip, a reflex sight, and an amplified beam splitter.

The beam splitter causes the pistol to act more like a shotgun, and recoil is a considerable issue because of it. Exploiting its rapid enhancement is likely to cause inaccurate shots, since it can easily before fired multiple times before it can return to its original position. Still, this could be considered a boon in close quartered combat
