For people who can not find the weapon, it is pretty straightforward. Climb the hillside behind the gas station but travel a bit towards the right to see a rubble around the area (mod description hints at this with a crash), in the middle of this rubble is a case with the weapon inside.

Hey guys, I did some basic edits in FNVEdit that I think make this weapon a lot more satisfying to use and play around with, and I thought I'd share it for those interested. This involves changing the sound and projectile of this weapon from constant blue Tesla beam into to a single projectile blue plasma burst (think alien blaster projectile) and a much more powerful energy weapon sound. All these changes should be very simple if you know how to use FNVEdit. If not, I'll try to go as in-depth as I think is necessary. If you know how to do all this stuff, then just copy paste the reference files into the corresponding cell.
Making The Edits: (All USING FNVEdit) Copying and pasting the references from here should work just fine
After opening FNVEdit and loading all your plugins, go to PB-AR1.esp, open the Weapon cell in the drop-down, then click on the only cell that pops up, this is the weapon file for this gun. From there, make these edits in the corresponding cells.
Changing Projectile (requires esp for his other weapon mod: E-88 Plasma Rifle. You must set the E-88 esp as a master file for this mod. To do this, right click on PB-AR1.esp, click "Add Masters" and check E-88 Plasma Rifle.esp) Projectile00E88Proj "E-88 Bolt" [PROJ:61000ADF]
First off, I really disliked the constant blue projectile beam, thinking this weapon would be much better suited to a single projectile blue plasma shot. To get this, I downloaded one of Gwyvern's other Arkarian weapons, link here http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/36020/? (it's his E-88 Plasma Rifle), and then copy and pasted the E-88's projectile into the Projectile slot in FNVEdit. You'll need to set the E-88 esp as a master to this file in order to do this (also done in FNVEdit) otherwise the computer won't be able to find the reference file. Second, I changed the sound to make the gun sound a lot more powerful. After testing like 10 different sounds, I was very impressed with the Recharger Pistol sound, and thought it would fit this weapon perfectly. Turns out it uses some Laser Defender Weapon sound, whatever that is.
Big thanks to Gwyvern for this awesome weapon. I don't mean to say you did a bad job, not at all, this is just my personal style. Thanks!!!
The idea is cool and all but uh, plasma wouldn't really be able to stay in a beam form like that... There's a reason they went with balls... It's still cool mind you, and if you're okay with green "like plasma" rather than blue than there's no wizardry needed. One of the lazer projectiles is a green variant of the normal red one used by one or more unique laser weapons. I think it's a prototype laser rifle that has it, shouldn't be hard to find in the GECK.
