The titanium cage housing the laser rifle mechanism is durable and retains focus of the internal arrays over extended periods of time, although the emphasis on reliability reduces firepower compared to state-of-the-art models like the AER12, with its gold alloy housing. The primary energy service weapon of the United States military, the AER9 is a sturdy, reliable weapon focusing on ruggedness and usability over performance. Īpart from rifles, other laser weapons exist, like compact laser pistols and heavier Gatling lasers.įallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Fallout Shelter However, their lack of moving parts (aside from the microfusion cell holding latch and trigger mechanism) means they are resilient against extended use. Given that laser weapons were still in their infancy as regular military weapons, parts can be hard to come by in the wasteland. Even the impact of overheating can be limited by submerging the barrel of the weapon in water, cooling off the heat sinks located below the chassis. Purified water and a clean cloth can be used to gently wash the mirrored and glass components, keeping them in shape. Military-grade weapons can be easily opened to perform maintenance. įortunately, maintenance is usually easy. For example, the AER9 crystal arrays and non-mechanical components are delicate and have to be cleaned and calibrated regularly, otherwise their deterioration can result in a loss of beam intensity, overheating, and energy regulation failure. As with all energy weapons, laser rifles can suffer from poor performance if not properly maintained. Several different models exist, from low power homemade versions to extremely powerful military weapons.
