The Smitty Special (GRA)

The Smitty Special is a unique plasma caster added by the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Background
The Smitty Special is named in honor of a legendary Boneyard weapon builder who produced beautiful plasma weapons with a high rate of fire. This Plasma Caster features an array of dizzying modifications that produce an almost constant stream of plasma bolts. ”Waaah, waaah, but it does so much less damage than a regular Plasma Caster!” Go back and read that again: it’s an automatic Plasma Caster. Even with the reduced damage, it will punch through almost any armor it comes up against. - JE Sawyer

Behind the scenes
The name is a nod to Smitty the blacksmith in Adytum who can upgrade a P94 plasma rifle to a turbo plasma rifle as a reward for fixing the hydroponic farms.
