Laser musket (Fallout 4)

The laser musket is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
The laser musket is a homemade variety of laser rifle, appearing to be cobbled together from various mechanical and electronic parts strapped to a regular wooden rifle stock. The "barrel" consists of two metal rings atop a metal rod extending from the stock, through which the laser beam fires. The beam itself is created inside a makeshift generator, which the player reloads via a hand-crank on the back. Like most laser weapons, it fires a red laser beam.

Based upon recent leaked gameplay videos, the laser musket's tactical niche appears to be firing a single extremely powerful laser shot at a relatively low rate of fire and slightly higher ammo consumption. The capacitor of this weapon can be improved to allow you to hand-crank more ammo into it for each shot, effectively increasing the damage of each shot. You can upgrade this to the point of being able to load 6 fusion cells per shot.

Behind the scenes
The laser musket is a crank-powered energy weapon; the 2002 Walt Disney film 'Treasure Planet' featured a weapon of the same name which used a similar system of powering the musket. However, in the film turning the crank constantly ensures a continuous beam with decreased potency.
