Metal Blaster

The Metal Blaster is a unique AER9 Laser Rifle added to Fallout 3 with the add-on The Pitt.

Location
It can be obtained in The Pitt by bringing Everett 50 Steel Ingots.

Characteristics

 * It can be repaired with the standard AER9 Laser Rifle.
 * It deals considerably more damage than the normal AER9 Laser Rifle, and fires a cluster of beams at once like a "laser shotgun". This is similar to the Protectron's Gaze obtained from The Mechanist at Canterbury Commons as a possible reward from The Superhuman Gambit quest.
 * It lacks the precision of a standard laser rifle, making it less effective for long-range attacks.
 * The main advantage of this weapon is that it fires nine laser beams in a shotgun-like spread, while using only one unit of ammunition.

History
Everett explains that it was created by a man from The Pitt using parts he found lying around the The Mill. Everett obtained it by looting it off his corpse. The man apparently used prisms to split the single beam into many individual beams.

Bugs
Star Paladin Cross seems to create a copy of this weapon in full condition
