Laser Pistol (Fallout 3)

The AEP7 Laser Pistol is a military issue laser sidearm. It is used extensively by the Enclave and Brotherhood of Steel in the Capital Wasteland. Talon Company mercenaries may also be seen using it. Its heavier counterpart is the AER9 Laser Rifle.

Custom versions
There are three custom weapons of this type available in the Wasteland that can be repaired with the standard AEP7:


 * Smuggler's End
 * Protectron's Gaze
 * Colonel Autumn's Laser Pistol

Availability
The only problem with the AEP7 Laser Pistol is its rarity. These guns don't show up in the Capital Wasteland very often, so keeping the pistol repaired and maintained might be a problem. Shops that sell weapons are the most reliable source of laser pistols. Fortunately, the ammunition for the Laser Pistol is reasonably plentiful. Energy cells can often be found in ammunition boxes, other various containers, and destroyed robots.

A player looking to find one early in the game may acquire two from the deli to the right of the cash registers at the Super Duper Mart. Both are in poor condition, so it is recommended to use one to repair the other. If the player can find Vault 92, there is a AEP7 with several energy cells on a table just inside the entrance; aside from the perils of crossing the Wasteland to get there, this is entirely unguarded.

In addition, it is commonly used by both the Brotherhood of Steel and Enclave in a sidearm capacity. Often in random encounters, various Talon Company members can be seen using it as a primary weapon.
