Metal Blaster

The Metal Blaster is a unique AER9 laser rifle added to Fallout 3 with the add-on The Pitt.

Characteristics

 * It is repaired with the standard AER9 laser rifle or the Wazer Wifle.
 * It deals considerably more damage than the normal AER9 laser rifle.
 * It lacks the precision of a standard laser rifle, making it less effective for long-range attacks.

The Metal Blaster can fire 455 cells, or about 19 full batteries, before breaking. That's 631 fewer cells than a regular laser rifle.

Location
It can be obtained in the Pitt by bringing Everett 50 steel ingots.

Behind the scenes
The Metal Blaster is the second item in two-part reference to Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Two characters, Master and Blaster, correspond to the Metal Master Armor and the Metal Blaster, respectively. Raider Blastmaster Armor also exists in Fallout 3.
