Laser pistol (Fallout)

The Wattz 1000 laser pistol is an energy weapon in Fallout and Fallout 2."{1600}{}{Laser Pistol}{1601}{}{A Wattz 1000 Laser Pistol. Civilian model, so the wattage is lower than military or police versions. Uses small energy cells. Min ST: 3.}"(PRO ITEM.MSG (Fallout))
==Characteristics==
Laser weapons tend to become less effective as the game progresses due to the fact that most late-game enemies have high resistance and threshold to laser damage. The plasma pistol is a direct upgrade to the laser pistol.
In Fallout 2, Algernon in New Reno Arms' basement can upgrade one with a magnetic focusing field, tightening the laser emission which gives the weapon the Penetrate perk. The pistols have a somewhat important role in New Reno in Fallout 2.
In the game, the Salvatores have begun conducting secret transactions with the Enclave (the Chosen One will be asked to guard one such transaction for Louis Salvatore's final quest), trading dangerous chemicals for Wattz 1000s (or "lightbringers" as they are referred to by denizens of New Reno). This gives the Salvatores an immense advantage over the other "families", and, using the "lightbringers", the Salvatores brutally massacre Mordino family members in the streets, striking fear into all those who oppose Salvatore.
Although no family is willing to fight the laser-packing Salvatores head-on, Orville Wright will ask the Chosen One to locate a source of weaponry which would give the Wrights a chance at doing so, and Big Jesus Mordino will contract them to murder Louis Salvatore in revenge for the massacre. Eldridge is willing to pay if someone brings him one of the weapons to examine.
