Missing Laser Pistol

The missing laser pistol is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas, and the object of the unmarked quest Pistol Packing, found in scorpion gulch.

Characteristics
A laser pistol belonging to the Mojave Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel, the missing laser pistol is a unique version of the laser pistol that is only found during the unmarked quest Pistol Packing. Initiate Stanton and Apprentice Watkins snuck out of the Hidden Valley bunker with this pistol for a "training exercise" against radscorpions in a nearby gulch, but dropped it when the scorpions got too close for comfort. The Courier can later retrieve it from the gulch as part of the quest.

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. The missing laser pistol cannot use any of the energy cell's variants, such as energy cell or over-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.

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.

Bugs
Sometimes the missing laser pistol doesn't spawn at all. If it doesn't, make sure you've talked to Initiate Stanton.
