Van Graff plasma rifle

The Van Graff plasma rifle is a unique weapon .
==Background==
==Characteristics==
Compared to the standard plasma rifle, the Van Graff plasma rifle does significantly less damage per shot and has the same rate of fire, thus a lower damage-per-second (DPS) value. It deals less critical hit damage, costs the same amount of AP, has the same spread, the same magazine capacity, the same durability, the same weight, and the same caps value. Like most unique weapons, modifications cannot be applied to it.
While the standard plasma rifle requires 25 Guns and 3 Strength to use efficiently, the Van Graff plasma rifle has no Guns requirement.
===Durability===
The Van Graff plasma rifle can fire a total of about 370 times using standard cells, the equivalent of 31 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Plasma rifle - the standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
* Q-35 matter modulator - a unique variant found in a sealed room in the REPCONN headquarters.
* Plasma rifle always crit - a test weapon that always inflicts critical hits.
* Plasma rifle weak - a test weapon that does less damage.
===Comparison===
==Locations==
* The weapon is given to the player character by Simon during Birds of a Feather when given the choice between a plasma rifle or a laser rifle to use as a guard outside the Silver Rush. It is marked as a quest item and cannot be dropped from the inventory. Once all visitors have been screened, Simon takes the armor and chosen rifle away from the player character.
* One way to obtain this weapon is to let the unnamed suicide bomber enter the Silver Rush during Birds of a Feather, resulting in the Van Graffs being killed. When the quest fails, one will be able to drop the rifle whenever you want to as it will not be marked as a quest item.
* Another way to obtain this weapon permanently is to personally kill Simon and then the rest of the Van Graffs once the weapon is obtained, failing Birds of a Feather.
==Notes==
* The weapon is still marked as a quest item even after completing Birds of a Feather, and therefore if it is acquired through theft or the console, it may only be removed from the player character's inventory through console commands.
* If this weapon is chosen during the quest Birds of a Feather, Simon will comment to the player character that plasma rifles are fine, just so long as you hit whatever you're aiming at.
