This weapon is not the Wattz 1000 laser pistol, they look completly different.--Ant2242 01:01, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

It appears to be a reskin of the Compliance Regulator. --Delta1138 SnooPING AS usual I see 20:21, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

It looks to be based on the enclave unfinished weapons project APOLLO. I would believe it to be the prototype weapon. WaltDog

The large explosion[]

The large explosion doesn't seem to be from the weapon's effect but from the target, which appears to be the nose cone of a missile. Dr. Lobotomy 23:37, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

perhaps it's a warhead detonator? Fallout: Shades of Grey, coming 2012 23:59, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

This is the warhead detonator talked about in the lonesome road achievement

How can you prove that? EB^Talk 20:25, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

Because 1) Its detonating a warhead and 2) If you look at the picture in the achievement you can see the vault boy wielding the same small energy pistol and shooting the same continuous orange beam at the same warhead. RED Sniper 1917 21:06, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

Dumb question, but this weapon literally is useless outside of Lonesome Road, correct? It does no "normal" damage?

--2 Wycked 00:33, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Yes. It has no function beyond detonating the warheads. But it doesn't provoke hostility so you can amuse yourself by shooting it through people and they just make snide comments.--68.62.55.57 15:55, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

How do I properly fill out the info box?[]

I'm running into quite a few problems. For example when I say that it had 1 shot for a clip but expends 0 ammo per shot it gives me an error. Also I can't figure out how to bypass the "damage times projectiles" it uses to calculate DPS. I would like to just manually put it in as 0 since I don't know how many projectiles it shoots (I know it's several, not one shot or stream). It's an editing nightmare --71.55.138.194 03:12, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

it wont let me shot the gun and im stuck at the first part no w

Weapon condition[]

What happens once the weapon's health reaches zero? I really hope it goes away because I don't need it anymore. --Felix Brehh 00:25, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
