The laser gun is a weapon in Fallout 76.

Background

Publications

“Laser guns are high-tech weapons which emit a concentrated beam of coherent, directional light, intense enough to inflict serious damage. They were a relatively new development in the years before the Great War, and thus are not an especially common sight in the wasteland, outside of those groups who’ve secured old military weapons caches. Most surviving models of laser gun—such as the dependable AER9, widely used by the U. S. Army—use an internal capacitor charged by a microfusion power cell.”— Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook

Gameplay

The weapon has a decent rate of fire and ammo capacity. Its available modifications makes it a versatile all-around weapon.
