This mod is part of my Weapon Pack. Check it out for extra features and bugfixes.

OVERVIEW

This pistol came to me in my mind because it occurred to me that you can burn people to ash with laser weapons, but not actually set them on fire, which I found weird. So I made this laser pistol (because unique energy pistols are quite lacking) that sets people on fire on hit. To further differentiate it from other weapons, I also wanted to find a unique reload animation for it, and settled for the Ranger Sequoia's reload, which I built the gun around.

Parts used: Too many to count! Parts of the Laser RCW, Laser Pistol, Mesmetron, Plasma Defender, Sawed-Off Shotgun were used to put this thing together.

FEATURES

- Heat Ray: Does more damage than a Laser Pistol, but it's not necessarily a straight upgrade, since it instead requires ECP instead of SEC, which is more expensive/rarer, especially early-game. Plus, for energy weapon users, that means the Laser RCW won't be the only early-game weapon to use ECP as well.

- Mods: 
1. Power Output Barrel: Replenishes shots (1/3)
2. Power Capacitor: Increases Weapon Damage (+4)
  The mods feel kinda lacking this time, but I didn't know what to add. I didn't want every single laser weapon to have a beam splitter and scope.

- Affected by Laser Commander, The Professional and Pyromaniac

- Is carried by Fiends, Brotherhood Scribes and dead Bright Brotherhood members. It can also be found for sale, as well as its mods, at the Silver
  Rush, Gunrunners, and other vendors of the wasteland.

- It counts as an improved holdout weapon.

- Custom mesh and icon for the weapon.

- This weapon has been added to all the appropriate forms lists via scripts.

ISSUES
 
The iron sights are a little off-centre in first-person but will correct themselves when the weapon is being fired.
Fixed in the No Sights version.
