Missing Laser Pistol

The  is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A unique weapon only found during the Missing Laser Pistol unmarked quest. It is also possible to use the iron sights on this weapon, but not on the Laser Pistol. Can be kept when entering a casino.

Walkthrough
Note that once the pistol is picked up, bark scorpian hunters will spawn and start coming down into the gulch from mutliple directions. There will be at least eight, in two groups of four (one group in one direction, the second from the opposite direction). However, the hunters still have low health, and can be killed in a single shot with weapons like the hunting rifle.
 * 1- Speak to Knight Torres to get this unmarked quest.
 * 2- Talk to the Brotherhood Quartermaster. He's sitting at the desk in the firing range a few meters away from Knight Torres.
 * 3- He will direct you to Initiate Stanton. He can be found inside Hidden Valley bunker L1, walking around. You can also find him in the classroom early in the day and sleeping with the others in the soldier bedroom at night. Speak with him twice or choose the 1st dialog option to make him reveal the location of the said pistol.
 * 4- Once you've talked to Stanton, head to Scorpion Gulch South-East. The missing laser pistol, who go by the same name, will be sitting on a big rock straight in the middle of the valley. A dead Wastelander is found leaning against that rock.
 * 5- Get the pistol back to Knight Torres for custom gun parts and some BoS fame.

Location

 * Found at the fast travel point of Scorpion Gulch on a large rock in the middle of the gulch, near a corpse. Once you are eligible for the quest, if you fast travel to the gulch it's basically right in front of you on said rock. If you have ED-E with you it will make a noise letting you know you have found something.
 * It does not appear in Scorpion Gulch until you have caused it to do so.

Bugs
Possible solution: Talk to Initiate Stanton and go through all the dialogue options, then make your way to the shooting range. Talk to Knight Torres, if the dialogue does not show up to turn in the Missing Laser Pistol. Save your game, then try talking to her again, with luck this will hopefully work and you will be able to turn in the Missing Laser Pistol.
 * Sometimes the Missing laser pistol doesn't spawn at all.
 * When looking at the Laser Pistols' Vault Boy Icon, it shows a plasma pistol instead of a laser pistol.
 * After giving Torres the pistol and thus completing the quest she still starts every conversation with "Have you found it yet?"
 * After speaking with Torres to begin the quest, if you ask Initiate Stanton where the laser pistol is before speaking with the Quartermaster, Stanton only gives you the option to speak to him once, and the Quartermaster can't be found to correct the quest. A brotherhood of steel paladin CAN still be found where the Quartermaster should be and CAN be talked to as if he were the Quartermaster.
 * The missing laser pistol can only use small energy cells, not variants such as overcharge.
