    The way I see it I enjoy using and also kill more things with the Laser Rifle. It cost very few AP in VATS letting you get out at least five shots in VATS mode and it has a great amount of accuracy the Damage can be increased when wearing Tesla Armor and they are plentiful. whether it be from a vendor or laying about in random areas when you leave the safety of cities you can find it plus it has a healthy mag size at 30 rounds per MFC(Microfusion Cells). Plus its always nice to disintegrate your foes into a pile of ashes. The only draw backs I can see is that their are only a few kind of NPC's which you can kill to gain them and that is Enclave Soldiers, members of the Brotherhood Of Steel, and rarely the occasional Talon Company Merc will be hefting one. But the biggest thing is the cost of Microfusion Cells. Those little fuckers are expensive as shit! And the hip fire accuracy which is balls. And like most energy weapons drains its condition quickly with constant use but nowhere near as fast as the Plasma Rifle.

    Now for the Plasma rifle. This thing fucks shit up no doubt for Christ sake it liquefies people into a pile of goo and, like the Laser Rifle, its damage level can increase by wearing Tesla Armor. It shares in common a major draw back of Microfusion Cells. But where the difference is begins with its damage the PR will burn through a MFC in only 12 shots. But the main disadvantage is that the only way to get your hands on one of these bad boys is to encounter enclave soldiers and claim them from their bodies and unfortunately Enclave Soldiers are few and far between in the Capital Wastelands expanses. Also its powerful status means it needs constant repairs if you wish to use it a lot. Plus the hip fire accuracy is even worse than the LR.

    My Choice: Laser Rifle
    Those are my opinions whats yours?

    Moved this topic to the Video Games section. Serious debates in the Debate section only, please.

    I personally prefer the laser rifle; I always carried the Wazer Wifle with me (because I rocked a VATS/gunman build that focused on utilizing only VATS and firearms/energy weapons) because I could literally take like a kajillion shots with it, and since my luck was so high, they were practically all criticals.

    Personally, I've never used energy weapons myself too much, I've always been a favorite of Abraham Lincoln’s .44 rifle, a solid saw-off shotgun, or when things get up close and personal, a baseball bat.

    But, from my limited experience with them, I'd have to say the laser rifle as well, just because I got plenty of shots off, and I always made them count...not to mention I stockpiled ammo like crazy, in the off-chance I fight something like a giant robot crab, and I'm all out of peas to throw at it.

    I am always sure to get the Wazer Waifu Wifle before I clear out Li'l Lamplight.

    I carry both, actually, but the WWW is my first pick.

    Don't remember plasma pistols. Hmm.

    I had a laser pistol, upgraded in Laser weapons, and enjoyed the 30-round mag.
