Laser Rifle Beam Splitter

 is a type of weapon mod in Fallout: New Vegas.

Effects
Splits a laser rifles beam into two. If both beams hit, base damage is 30% higher. Both beams are close to one another, so this does not really give the laser much in the way of a 'shotgun' effect. While this upgrade will improve damage against most types of enemies, it will actually make a laser rifle less effective against heavily armored ones, since armor subtracts from the damage dealt by each laser beam shot.

Bugs

 * Attaching it to a laser rifle produces three rather than two beams, each producing 1/3rd of the original laser's damage. The 30% base damage bonus is also not applied, making a laser rifle with the beam splitter attached no better against unarmored targets and far less effective against armored ones.
