Plasma Defender (GRA)

The plasma defender is an energy weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics
The plasma defender is a powerful energy-based pistol which fires superheated bolts of green plasma. It is able to punch through most creatures and low to medium-level types of armor with ease.

Specially constructed by the Gun Runners, this plasma defender is identical to the standard model in both textures and stats, the main difference being this variant can accept weapon modifications.

Durability
