Metal Blaster

The Metal Blaster is a unique AER9 Laser Rifle added to Fallout 3 with the DLC pack The Pitt. It can be obtained in The Pitt by bringing Everett 50 Steel Ingots.

It is almost twice as powerful than a normal laser rifle and the unique Wazer Wifle. It lacks the precision of a standard laser rifle, making it somewhat less effective for long-range attacks. The main advantage of this weapon is that sneak attack critical hits outside of V.A.T.S. are exceptionally devastating. It fires multiple lasers (nine) at a time while only using one unit of ammunition, a property also used by Protectron's Gaze.

Bugs
Some people experience problems with the critical hits which turns enemies into ashes. The ash can sometimes stay even though the same enemy has respawned, leaving an unexaminable pile of ash.

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.
