Red Glare

The Red Glare is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Lonesome Road.

Background
A prototype rocket launcher developed in the Hopeville Missile Base sometime before the Great War, the Red Glare includes many aesthetic features, of which include a unique digital interface and a self-compressing, pump-action reloading mechanism. Red Glare feeds from a 13 round canister and is fully automatic, capable of emptying its magazine in a matter of seconds. It is fitted with a scope which makes it effective at mid to long range. A bright red light emits from the weapon when firing, as well as from the rockets during flight and impact.

Characteristics
The standard rockets have a splash radius of 500 units, or about 7.8 yards. The Red Glare has a default scope of x2.86 magnification. The Far Sighting modification increases this to x4.35—the highest magnification in the game.

Durability
Red Glare can fire a total of about 2245 rockets, the equivalent of 173 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Behind the scenes

 * This weapon's name is a reference to "The Star Spangled Banner", the national anthem of the United States of America written by Francis Scott Key in 1814. The name comes from the line "And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there."
 * The capacity of the weapon refers to the significance of the number thirteen to the history of the United States of America: thirteen colonies formed the United States and the Fallout universe's USA was reorganized into thirteen commonwealths.
