Plasma Pistol (Fallout: New Vegas)

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

Characteristics
The plasma pistol returns in New Vegas, only slightly changed from its appearance in Fallout 3. Its damage has been reduced by 3 points, its AP consumption increased by 4, and its critical multiplier reduced to 1.5x from 2x. However, the biggest change is its ammo consumption; it sports double the cell capacity, at 32, but drains 2 energy cells with every shot. Still, the plasma pistol serves as a worthy sidearm, if only because of the weak nature of the laser pistol.
