I like this idea somehow. The image is missing now, though.

I like this idea very much. This weapon should be craftable, too. Energy weapons have one huge disadvantage compared to... well, every other gun class: with both small and big guns, you can pretty much gear up to any situation by crafting your own weapon, but the energy class lacks that diversity.
Sure, there are three types of energy damage, but one of them is of non-craftable weapons, and the other two are just too weak for serious battle (no offense, but changing the TP rifle weapon perk from penetrate to long range was... well, I wouldn't vote it for Idea of the Century). Except for gatling laser, which is, again, not craftable.

Why not...short burst 3-4 shoots in line, but burst dmg should be same like Gatling

2nd idea...make it for plasma small plasma canon

I like this one ! More diversity in EW weapons. Just like LSW added something to BG.

But it should be somehow different from LSW, not just an EW version. Maybe less range and plasma damage ? (And laser rifle already have 47 range)

Slapped this together just now.

I wasn't sure what you meant by "W-barrel",
so I just assumed you meant "double-barreled".

to many wires

[Sperber]

It has twice as many barrels so it needs twice as many wires.
Removed one anyhow and shortened the barrels a bit.



Laser rifle ext cap, for comparison.

[drot]

Maybe something like the Laser RCW (Laser Tommy gun) from New Vegas?



It would at least somewhat follow the Fallout canon.

I like Sperber's spaghetti-laser rifle. It's Fallout after all, why bother with covering up some wires, nobody will fine you due to safety issues

Since we are at it, let's not forget that the Enclave supposedly already have a repeater-plasma weapon: Horrigan used one, it's called the Game End Boss Plasma Gun (same damage as TP, with an ammo capacity of 50 and 5-shot burst option... I think). Lesser versions could have found their way into the Wasteland.

Also, Earth technology might have halted at laser bursts (and supposedly plasma), but we keep finding alien blasters, too. It might have a burst option, it's just that no Wastelander ever bothered to check, but sometime soon we might realize that it DOES have this function (cue).

It's now obvious that I'm an EW maniac.

[Sperber]

Since we're already at it ...

Plasma Support Weapon



Less damage than the plasma rifle but longer range.
