Anyone else thinks regular gatling laser is way better(when upgraded). Crit modifier is too low and GL(with focus optics) is already doing 13 damage per shot hence doing 390 dps. I would call it useful if only it had ammo capacity of 240. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.165.144.202 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
More damage and WAY more accurate. Try it. --Vladimir-Lem 13:22, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

The Avenger problem...again?[]
I didn't tested the weapon, so maybe I could be wrong, but it seems to me this suffer the same problem of the CZ57 Avenger minigun: low ammo capacity. Avenger is way more powerfull and accurate than a normal minigun, but it suffers when comparing of how much ammo you can carry. When applying the mods in a regular minigun Avenger is still more powerfull, but the minigun will end performing better. Brfritos 03:43, September 30, 2011 (UTC)
We seem to know where the Sprtel and Wood come from, so do we have any idea where the 9700 comes from? It seems a bit odd to have half the name come from something and the other half completely random. Si vis pacem, para bellum. 16:09, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
Srtel vs other heave energy weaps[]
Well, I'm more of an energy weapon user. (mainly because I've always loved the gauss rifle and I think the YCS/186 is one of the best weapons in the game, if not the best). SO I'd really rather not use the avenger... I'm more between the Sprtel-wood (or modded gtl laser, seeing as it seems to be a better option), and the Smitty Special (again, or Plasma Caster). Which one would be a better choice? Acoording to my testing, the Sprtel/Gtl is better in V.A.T.S... but the Smitty's higher dmg/shot seems usefull against higher DT opponents... so... I'm not sure which one is better.
Personally it's more on personal choice;The Smitty has almost twice dmg/shot than Sprtel(1:0).Smitty has lower base DPS than Sprtel(1:1).Smitty fires almost half shots/second than Sprtel(1:2).Smitty has almost double/triple spread of Sprtel(this results in a general lower DPS on field on Smitty's part) (1:3).If you fire nonstop from full ammo and have no affecting perks,Smitty is emptied in about 2.8s while Sprtel is emptied in about 4.5s (this results in a general lower DPS on field on Smitty's part) (1:4).I'm not very familiar with calculating DPS from crits but Smitty would be able to hit at least double if not more crit chance than Sprtel(whose max crit chance is 19% with all perks that add flat crit chance)(2:4).On hardcore,each clip Smitty fires weighs 2 points while Sprtel's clips weigh 2.25(3:4).Theoretically,Smitty would outshine Sprtel in VATS because of related perks(plasma spaz,namely) and both guns having the same AP cost.I trust that your test is accurate(3:5).Finally,Smitty fires green balls of plasma while Sprtel fires green laser beams(4:5 or 3:6 depending on your personal liking;I prefer plasma beams).If you look at it from this angle,Sprtel would have better overall efficiency but definitely would have moments where it's weaker than Smitty. --Bob 12:15, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Umm Can't Find it[]
I killed the Van Graffs in my playthrough but the Vendotron does not have it in stock. Is this a glitch?
- It's randomized.

That explains alot then the wiki said the gunrunners would have it if they died someone might want to edit that. Thanks I'll keep looking for it.--Friskytwinky11 (talk) 01:19, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Sometimes it does take a while... You'd think it'd be there by the next stocking cycle. But for me, I know it took a few weeks (in-game) to finally buy it. Some Assembly Required! 01:22, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
Weird Pink Beam bug[]
Hi. I love this gun, but for some weird reason, for me it shoots a pink beam. Anyone have a solution to that? --76.71.185.112 17:43, October 9, 2014 (UTC)
