Protectron's Gaze (Fallout 3)

Protectron's Gaze is a unique version of the AEP7 Laser Pistol. It is awarded after handing The AntAgonizer's armor to The Mechanist and deals considerably more damage than the normal AEP7 Laser Pistol, but spreads the shot out like a "laser shotgun". It also has a slower rate of fire and a smaller magazine.. It may be repaired using the standard Laser Pistols.

It is possible that this belonged to The Mechanist's favorite robot, which was destroyed by The Antagonizer, inspiring him to take the role of a superhero. This is suggested when you give him the AntAgonizer's Costume, to which he replies by giving you Protectron's Gaze and stating that it belonged "to an old partner".
