Tri-beam Laser Rifle (Broken Steel)

The  is a weapon which is added to Fallout 3 with the Broken Steel downloadable content pack. It is carried by Super Mutant Overlords.

Characteristics
The Tri-Beam Laser Rifle is a ranged laser rifle shotgun with a possible knockback effect.

It could be considered a more powerful and accurate version of the Metal Blaster. Unlike the Metal Blaster however, each shot depletes 3 rounds of ammunition, allowing for 8 shots before the MF Cell is emptied.

The weapon has the appearance of a "sawed-off" laser rifle, missing the tube on the bottom length of the barrel and having a new emitter aperture and attached wires. It also has a darker, black-green tone than the standard laser rifle.
