Background

The following section is transcluded from Laser rifle. To modify, please edit the source page.

The laser musket combines high-tech energy damage with Revolutionary style. Each crank of its handle loads additional Fusion cell ammo, and the weapon can be cranked multiple times to increase the damage of a single shot. It is the signature weapon of the Commonwealth Minutemen.

Characteristics

The musket is one of the signature weapons of the game and one of its more interesting weapons. It is a single-shot laser weapon, whose biggest attraction is the fact that it can be modified to be cranked multiple times to fire the equivalent of up to six charges in one shot, which is exceptionally useful for breaking through high DR enemies.

When just giving it one crank, it is essentially a bolt-action laser rifle. The default sights are rather difficult to use, so modifying the sights are a good investment. Furthermore, bracketed barrels allow for the fitting of muzzle modifications. The rifle works best when configured as a long-range sniping rifle, where the player has time to crank it numerous times before firing the first shot, then switch to a different weapon. On the downside, there is no equivalent to a silencer for energy weapons.

Crafting

With the Contraptions Workshop add-on, laser muskets can be manufactured using a energy weapon forge.
