Is alien blaster an energy weapon

[sargon]

same thing with all the other wep u get from aliens plz

[Curious Incubus]

Yes, they are energy weapons.

[Vassago Rain]

Yes. It's worth noting that while the gun is incredibly powerful, there's zero additional ammo in the game. You get 60-300+ on the captain, and that's it.

It also counts as a laser weapon in every respect, as far as I know.

It's the only weapon where that could be justified, but it's got no ironsights and really isn't much use compared to most of the other weapons, plus losing a guaranteed unique of a rather rare weapon is a bit too much to throw away for about 70 crits.

Agreed...I played thru with each weapon, and the unigue Gauss rifle is a much better weapon, imho. And you don't have to cheat to get ammo

Gauss has only one shot tho

You don't use the gauss rifle in melee range switch to the tri beam or multiplas.

It's a sniper rifle, not a shotgun.

It also breaks incredibly fast (being a sniper rifle and all) and doesn't have a knockdown effect.

One shot is all you need, I'm finding. And it's got such an incredible range, that reload time is no problem...hell, they don't even know where I am after the first shot, I'm so far away. And even if some baddies DO try to close in, I have plenty of time to switch to an automatic weapon, or the Gatling laser.

I stand by my claim that it's a far superior weapon to the Alien Blaster.

If you're using a sniper weapon at close range, anything that happens is your fault because you did it horribly wrong.

Trust me, I've been there with the AMR. Using something like that within 10 feet is asking to get murderized.

I will unabashedly use the varmint rifle as my main weapon up until Novac.
