Sprtel-Wood 9700 (GRA)

The Sprtel-Wood 9700 is an energy weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics
The Sprtel-Wood 9700 is a high-speed Gatling laser that shoots green lasers, similar to the AER14 prototype. It has an ammunition capacity of 90 electron charge packs and moderate weapon spread. The Sprtel-Wood 9700 can inflict 16 damage per hit in good condition, but it has a slightly below average critical hit chance for an automatic weapon.

Durability
The Sprtel-Wood 9700 can fire a total of about 4,995 times using standard packs, the equivalent of 56 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Gatling laser - the common variant found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Locations

 * Silver Rush, sold by Gloria Van Graff.
 * Gun Runners, sold by the Vendortron if Gloria Van Graff is dead

Behind the scenes
The Sprtel-Wood 9700 is an homage to Scott Sprtel, a medical student who was run over while on his bike, and Brian Wood, a game designer at Relic Entertainment who was killed in a traffic collision.

Bugs

 * When scoring a critical hit on an enemy and the critical hit animation plays, the sound of the gun firing will still continue to play repeatedly until the gun is fired again.
 * Sometimes, if Gloria Van Graff is dead, Sprtel-Wood 9700 will not be purchasable from Vendortron.
 * Use this fix in the console:, then . This could also be done in reverse order.


 * When you only have ammunition within your remaining magazine and none left, holding the trigger down till exhausting all rounds doesn't stop the weapon's looping sound animation and firing animation (though no lasers will fire out) until one lets go of the firing trigger.
 * Occasionally the gun may be sold by both Gloria Van Graff and the Gun Runners at the same time. Once the weapon is purchased from either vendor the other disappears from the other vendor's inventory. This seems to happen while participating in the quest Heartache by the Number without killing Gloria or Alice McLafferty.
