Institute pistol

The Institute pistol is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
This weapon has a similar overall function and appearance to the normal laser pistol, and is commonly carried by members of the Institute and Synths. Compared to similarly equipped laser guns, Institute lasers offer a superior rate of fire at the cost of per-shot damage. Its beam, when fired, appears blue instead of red. If you choose to scrap a standard version of this item you will receive 4 plastic. Due to the low amount and value of the materials acquired from scrapping, it is recommended to sell rather than scrap.

The Institute weapons take up an inordinately large amount of the screen in first-person view, which may obstruct vision of one's surroundings.
