Missing Laser Pistol

The  is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A unique weapon only found during the Missing Laser Pistol unmarked quest. It is also possible to use the iron sights on this weapon, but not on the Laser Pistol. Can be kept when entering a casino.

Location
Found at the fast travel point of Scorpion Gulch on a large rock in the middle of the gulch, near a corpse. Once you are eligible for the quest, if you fast travel to the gulch it's basically right in front of you on said rock. If you have ED-E with you it will make a noise letting you know you have found something.

It does not appear in Scorpion Gulch until you have caused it to do so. To make it appear you must first speak to Knight Torres. After she gives you the unnamed mission you need to talk to the Brotherhood Quartermaster (unnamed knight sitting at the desk in the firing range). He will direct you to Initiate Stanton. Speak with him twice to find out where he lost it.

Appearances

Bugs
Possible solution: Talk to Initiate Stanton and go through all the dialogue options, then make your way to the shooting range. Talk to Knight Torres, if the dialogue does not show up to turn in the Missing Laser Pistol. Save your game, then try talking to her again, with luck this will hopefully work and you will be able to turn in the Missing Laser Pistol.
 * Sometimes the Missing laser pistol doesn't spawn at all.
 * When looking at the Laser Pistols' Vault Boy Icon, it shows a plasma pistol instead of a laser pistol.
 * After giving Torres the pistol and thus completing the quest she still starts every conversation with "Have you found it yet?"
 * After speaking with Torres to begin the quest, if you ask Initiate Stanton where the laser pistol is before speaking with the Quartermaster, Stanton only gives you the option to speak to him once, and the Quatermaster can't be found to correct the quest.
 * The missing laser pistol can only use small energy cells, not variants such as overcharge.
