Variants

 * Gatling laser - the common variant found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Locations

 * Silver Rush, sold by Gloria Van Graff.
 * Gun Runners, sold by the Vendortron if Gloria Van Graff is dead.

Behind the scenes

 * The Sprtel-Wood 9700's name is an tribute to two individuals; Dr. Scott Sprtel, who died in a 2003 biking accident, and Brian Wood, a lead designer at Relic Entertainment, killed in a traffic collision in 2010.

Bugs

 * When scoring a critical hit on an enemy and the critical hit animation plays, the sound of the gun firing will still continue to play repeatedly until the gun is fired again.
 * Sometimes, if Gloria Van Graff is dead, Sprtel-Wood 9700 will not be purchasable from Vendortron.
 * On PC, this can be fixed by opening the console and typing, hitting enter, then followed by . This can also be done in reverse order. It may take several seconds before the script takes effect (a pop-up will notify that Gun Runner plugin has started). If it still does not work, try using command on the Vendortron.
 * When you only have ammunition within your remaining magazine and none left, holding the trigger down till exhausting all rounds doesn't stop the weapon's looping sound animation and firing animation (though no lasers will fire out) until one lets go of the firing trigger.
 * Occasionally the gun may be sold by both Gloria Van Graff and the Gun Runners at the same time. Once the weapon is purchased from either vendor the other disappears from the other vendor's inventory. This seems to happen while participating in the quest Heartache by the Number without killing Gloria or Alice McLafferty.
