Gatling Laser (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Gatling laser is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Gatling laser is a rapid-fire heavy energy weapon. It uses EC packs as ammunition. The Gatling laser has one of the highest damage-per-second rates in the game, delivering over 500dps with max-charged ammo and a high energy weapons skill. It can almost instantly destroy any unarmored enemy.

The Gatling laser achieves such a high DPS by firing multiple low powered shots at an incredibly fast rate. This makes it both an enormous ammo hog and surprisingly ineffective against heavily armored opponents, as Fallout: New Vegas' damage threshold system almost completely negates the damage they take from each shot. For this reason, The Gatling laser is far less effective than it's Fallout 3 counterpart.
