Laser Rifle

The Laser Rifle is a Hardmode magic weapon that auto-fires violet lasers which penetrate up to two enemies and emit moderate light. It has a / chance to be dropped by the Wall of Flesh. Despite its name, it does not count as a gun, cannot receive ranged weapon modifiers, and will not fulfill the requirements for the Arms Dealer to move in. The Laser Rifle can be considered an upgrade of the Space Gun, although the set bonus effect of Meteor armor does not apply to it.
== Tips ==
* The Laser Rifle is a fairly powerful weapon against worms due to its high fire rate and ability to pierce multiple segments.
* This weapon is fairly mana-efficient.
* While it deals relatively low damage, its high fire rate can allow it to remain useful even until mid-Hardmode.
== Trivia ==
* A rifle is normally defined by its barrel being rifled, with helical grooves that cause the projectile to spin. However, this technicality was often ignored in s, resulting in terms such as "laser rifle" or "plasma rifle" becoming part of popular culture. In real life, a would not have a rifled barrel, as there is no projectile to be spun. 
* The player can use the Laser Rifle while sleeping in a Bed (firing in a non-horizontal direction will wake them up).
