Tesla cannon (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Tesla cannon is a weapon .
==Background==
==Characteristics==
A shoulder-mounted energy weapon powered by electron charge packs that fires concentrated electrostatic bursts. It has a high Strength requirement for its weight and is functionally recoilless. Due to being considered a unique class of weapon, it cannot benefit from the Jury Rigging perk and must be repaired with either other Tesla cannons, vendors, or weapon repair kits.
===Durability===
The Tesla cannon can fire a total of about 395 times using standard packs, the equivalent of 99 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Tesla-Beaton prototype - a unique variant located near the crashed vertibird southwest of Camp Searchlight, just southeast of the old nuclear test site.
* Elijah's jury-rigged Tesla cannon - a unique variant found near Elijah's Watch in the northeast ordinal direction of Big MT.
===Comparison===
==Locations==
* Hidden Valley bunker - Can be sold by Knight Torres.
* Brotherhood of Steel safehouse - On the shelves.
* The Great Khan armorer at the armory outside of Red Rock Canyon will stock this at random.
* May also be available for purchase at the Silver Rush after level 16.
* May be found in Big MT. 
* Carried by Y-17 trauma override harnesses at higher levels. 
* May be found in the various high-tech gun cases found at Dry Wells, the Long 15 and the Courier's Mile.
* Can sometimes be found on irradiated NCR heavy troopers that were stationed on the Long 15.
==Notes==
* The Tesla cannon uses five electron charge packs per shot, and therefore it's only possible to receive one empty electron charge pack from firing the cannon, the same with all energy weapons that use more than one cell per shot.
* Due to it previously firing only one shot per reload, it ejects single electron charge packs every shot despite only one being loaded. Also, the electron charge pack will not appear after one shot is fired, and the end of the cannon is retracted, but it still ejects another per shot.
* The weapon's firing sounds in Fallout: New Vegas are different from those of its counterpart in Broken Steel.
