Recharger Rifle

The recharger rifle is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
The recharger rifle is the first version of a self-charging weapon with effectivelly limitless ammunition. As the first version of such a weapon, it suffers from a limited power capacity and low effectiveness of the built-in microfusion breeder. The microfusion breeder recharges at about one ammunition every second, meaning a fully discharged recharger rifle takes 7 seconds to recharge. Its evolved and far more advanced counterpart is the recharger pistol.

Characteristics
It recharges itself at about a round every second, requiring the player to pace his shots to compensate.

Durability
The recharger rifle can fire a total of about 370 times from full condition before breaking.
