Laser Rifle (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Laser Rifle is an energy weapon $$

Gameplay
The Laser Rifle has no iron sights but compensates with excellent zoom. It can be upgraded with a scope, making it less effective in close quarters, but thanks to its good accuracy, it can be used as a medium to long-range weapon. The laser rifle makes a decent starting weapon, but with all mods and more powerful ammo types, it is extremely powerful, even at high levels.
