Laser Pistol (Fallout 3)

The AEP7 Laser Pistol is a military issue sidearm, as opposed to the civilian Wattz 1000 Laser Pistol. This weapon is a relatively powerful sidearm. It is a superior weapon compared to the N99 10mm Pistol or the Chinese Pistol. With decent damage and a generous ammo capacity, the AEP7 is the perfect backup sidearm in case things go wrong.

The only problem with the AEP7 Laser Pistol is its rarity. These guns don't show up in the Capital Wasteland very often, so keeping the pistol repaired and maintained might be a problem. Fortunately, the ammunition for the Laser Pistol is reasonably plentiful. Energy cells can often be found in ammunition boxes, other various containers, and destroyed robots.

This weapon can be used to repair Smuggler's End and Protectron's Gaze.

Weapon Information Research Database File
The AEP7 Laser Pistol was put into service to replace the AEP5, a model which was notorious for its problems with overheating. The AEP7 features a new design in the photonic focusing chamber as well as an entirely redesigned focusing crystal pattern. The bulk and weight have both been reduced over previous models and it was likely that within the new few development cycles, the sucessor to the AEP7 would replace the N99 10mm as the standard issue sidearm for all forces.

The AEP7 took advantage of new manufacturing techniques developed shortly before the Great War. Although many were produced, most did not make it into field service because of logistics problems concerning their deployment during active wartime.

The AEP7 can be a rare find in the Capital Wasteland, and any models that are produced should be returned to the Citadel for repair and recalibrating before field deployment.

Appearances
The AEP7 Laser Pistol appears only in Fallout 3, replacing the Wattz 1000 Laser Pistol from previous Fallout games.

A player looking to find one early in the game may acquire this weapon from a small room to the right of the cash registers at the Super Duper Mart.
