Holorifle

The  is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add on Dead Money

About
The holorifle is an energy weapon created by Father Elijah in the DLC Dead Money. You recieve the gun upon entering Sierra Madre. It is a scoped, pump-action weapon that works very well against the Ghost People. It does a special "Holorifle Damage" effect. The Weapon uses Microfusion cells as ammo. Loading takes place via an under-barrel tubular magazine, where up to 4 Microfusion cells are loaded.

The gun appears to be an Energy weapon conversion of the Grenade launcher.

Bugs

 * The weapon will refuse to fire in VATS, and the player will be stuck watching enemies attack him unable to do anything.(confirmed on XBOX 360)


 * The weapon will enter a never ending reload cycle when switching ammo types. (This is also experienced occasionally with lever action rifles. I suspect that any weapon with ammunition that loads individually could experience this glitch. This has been confirmed)


 * The weapon will miss at contact range.


 * While carrying the weapon, the Courier's arms will cycle down below the screen, then appear above it and settle back into place. This is purely cosmetic, and neither causes crashes or interferes with firing the weapon.


 * Just after reloading, the weapon will cause your character to move slowly (almost as if your legs are cripppled) this bug sorts out in a matter of seconds, but is very annoying.
