Missing laser pistol

The missing laser pistol is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas, and a quest item relevant to the unmarked quest Pistol Packing.
==Background==
A laser pistol belonging to the Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel, it was requisitioned from Knight Torres at the Hidden Valley bunker armory by Initiate Stanton who, along with Apprentice Watkins snuck out for a "training exercise" against radscorpions in a nearby gulch. They were initially handling the swarm of targets until the scorpions got too close for comfort. In the ensuing flight back to the bunker, Stanton dropped the pistol by accident and couldn't retrieve it in time, forcing him to alter Torres' records to show it had been returned. The deception lasted until Paladin Hardin informed Torres of an impending inventory check. Her preemptive check uncovered the screwup, but Torres knew she could not do anything other than accept outside help to retrieve the weapon due to the bunker lockdown.
==Characteristics==
It has similar stats to the standard laser pistol with the exception of lower damage and critical damage. Unlike the laser pistol, it is also possible to use the iron sights on this weapon, like its other variant from Gun Runners' Arsenal. The missing laser pistol cannot use any of the energy cell's variants, such as over charge or max charge.
===Durability===
The missing laser pistol can fire a total of about 995 times using standard cells, the equivalent of 34 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Laser pistol, standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
* Pew Pew, a unique variant found in the Sunset Sarsaparilla headquarters during the A Valuable Lesson quest.
* Compliance Regulator , a unique laser pistol that paralyzes a target on hit.
* Laser pistol (GRA) , a unique variant that can accept modifications.
===Comparison===
==Location==
During the unmarked quest Pistol Packing, the pistol will appear after the proper sequence of conversations has taken place. It can then be found on a large rock in the middle of scorpion gulch, next to the corpse of a wastelander.
==Related quests==
* Pistol Packing
==Notes==
* As it is a quest item, this weapon will not be removed in instances where the Courier's weapons are removed from their inventory while entering certain locations, such as holdout weapons locations or the Sierra Madre.
* When using the iron sights, as the laser pistol does not have an animation for iron sight firing in the first person, it first aims with the iron sights, then changes to the regular zoomed-in hip fire of a standard laser pistol as soon as the weapon is fired. 
* The missing laser pistol's Pip-Boy icon is that of a plasma pistol, rather than that of the normal laser pistol.
==Bugs==
 Sometimes the missing laser pistol doesn't spawn at all. If it doesn't, make sure you've talked to Initiate Stanton.
