Metal Blaster

The Metal Blaster is a unique AER9 laser rifle added to Fallout 3 with the add-on The Pitt.

Location
It can be obtained in the Pitt by bringing Everett 50 steel ingots.

Characteristics
The Metal Blaster is a laser shotgun and fires nine laser beams while expending only one Microfusion Cell. According to Everett, the brainiac who built the rifle fitted a prism into the barrel, splitting the light in every direction. This makes it similar to Protectron's Gaze, a shotgun-esque AEP7 laser pistol.
 * It is repaired with the standard AER9 laser rifle or the Wazer Wifle.
 * It deals considerably more damage than the normal AER9 laser rifle.
 * It lacks the precision of a standard laser rifle, making it less effective for long-range attacks.

The Metal Blaster can fire 455 cells, or about 19 full batteries, before breaking. That's 631 fewer cells than a regular laser rifle.

History
Everett explains that it was created by a man from The Pitt using parts he found lying around the the Mill, including a series of prisms that split the beam. Everett came into possession of the rifle by looting the man's corpse in the Mill.
