Plasma Caster (Fallout: New Vegas)

The plasma caster is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Winchester Model P94 is a bulky, industrial-grade energy caster, firing superheated bolts of plasma down a superconducting barrel ending in electromagnetic claws helping to form the plasma bolt. It is one of the strongest energy weapons in the game, and one of the strongest plasma weapons overall, having a rather low AP cost, high rate of fire and decent precision. It's rare and not very durable however, so the Jury Rigging perk or Weapon Repair Kits are necessary for continous use of this weapon. Note: Even with Jury Rigger, it can only be repaired with Gatlin Lasers.

Locations
The Plasma Caster can be found within the Silver Rush energy weapons shop which is found in Freeside.

Mods

 * Plasma Caster HS Electrode Increase the rate of fire of the Plasma Caster by 25%

Bugs

 * The weapon fails to fire a projectile properly when used in third-person view. After equipping it when in third-person view it may not work even when switching to first-person view. Re-equipping it while in first-person view solves this (only occurred on first use).
 * Due to a bug the Plasma Caster can be duplicated if it's removed from your inventory and placed into a storage item, the duplication will give you a Plasma Caster with 100% condition and can be repeated. (Unless you have updated the game)
 * There is a bug that in some cases may cause the Plasma Caster to not count towards the Blast Mastery achievement no matter how much you use it.
 * After upgrading the Plasma Caster with the Plasma Caster HS Electrode, the gun may disappear from your inventory forever.
