Zwar gab es vor dem Großen Krieg bereits ein weiter entwickeltes Modell, das AER12, welches aber einigen wenigen Spezialeinheiten vorbehalten war. Die Masse der eingesetzten Waffen, und damit auch der Grund für das häufigere Vorkommen im Ödland, war das AER9.
Durch das Hineinpumpen von Energie aus Mikrofusionszellen in den Emitter-Kristall wird eine Besetzungsinversion erzeugt, der letztendlich den Laserstrahl erzeugt. Beim AER9 wird der Kristall durch einen Titanmantel von General Atomics International geschützt, welcher besser gegen Umwelteinflüsse abschirmt, als die Gold-Ummantelten späteren Modelle. Das macht die Waffe haltbarer und genauer, als die neueren Modelle.
Wie alle Energiewaffen, leidet auch das AER9 besonders stark unter mangelhafter Pflege. Die Emitter-Kristalle und die nicht-mechanischen Komponenten sind besonders empfindlich. Werden diese nicht entsprechend gepflegt, führt dies zu Verlust von Leistung, Überhitzung und anderen Fehlern
As with all energy weapons, the AER9 can suffer from poor performance if not properly maintained. The crystal arrays and non-mechanical components are delicate, and if not properly serviced can lead to a loss of beam intensity, overheating, and energy regulation failure. Given that laser weapons were still in their infancy as regular military weapons, parts can be hard to come by in the wasteland. However, its lack of moving parts (aside from the microfusion cell holding latch and trigger mechanism) means it is resilient against extended use. By nature of firing a beam projectile, the shots will instantly hit, negating any need to lead the shot.
In combat, the laser rifle is an exceptional weapon. It performs admirably at medium and long ranges, where its accurate semi-automatic fire combined with its large ammunition capacity makes short work of most opponents. However, its semi-automatic nature prevents it from being a viable close quarters combat weapon. As such, the laser rifle is a good weapon for traveling through the open wastelands where dispatching enemies at a distance is a frequent opportunity. Although its damage output is only comparable to the Jagdgewehr and lower than the Heckenschützengewehr, its rapid semi-automatic action, sizable magazine, minimum spread of 0 (meaning potentially perfect accuracy), extreme effective range, and exceptionally low AP cost allows the laser rifle to really stand out. A deadly critical hit from this weapon, as with other laser weapons, will not only kill enemies but also turn them into a pile of colored sparkling ashes, which can still be looted as normal.
Haltbarkeit[]
A fully repaired laser rifle can fire 1086 bolts, about 46 full cells, from full condition before breaking.
Varianten[]
Wazergewehr - This unique variant of the AER9 has higher damage and durability, as well as a larger magazine. It is obtained from Biwwy in Little Lamplight for five hundred caps, for two hundred and fifty caps with a Barter skill check, or free with the Child at Heart perk.
MetallsprengerThe Pitt (Add-On) - This unique variant of the AER9 fires nine beams at once, using one Mikrofusionszelle similar to the Protectron's Gaze laser pistol. This feature, coupled with its remarkably high damage-per-shot makes it a devastating short to close-range weapon, though its effectiveness greatly diminishes at a range with the "shotgun effect". It can be obtained by bringing fifty steel ingots to Everett in The Pitt.
Dreistrahliges LasergewehrBroken Steel (Add-On) - The tri-beam laser rifle is a variant of the AER9 that fires three high-powered beams per shot - similar to the Metal Blaster - though it does require three microfusion cells every time the trigger is pulled. This weapon is not unique, and is dropped by Herren der Supermutanten but is not repairable with anything but other tri-beam laser rifles. It was first made available in Broken Steel.
Folgendes basiert auf Fallout 3 Geschnittener Inhalt und ist nicht kanonisch.
The Operation: AnchorageAdd-On includes an unused DLC-specific version of the laser rifle. It is identical to the normal laser rifle in both statistics and appearance. Its intended purpose in the DLC is unknown and it was cut from the final release, rendering it accessible only through the use of console commands.
A "demo" version of the laser rifle is included in Fallout 3, presumably left from the game's E3 demo. It does one point less damage per shot and less than half the critical damage than the standard variant, but has a much higher critical chance percentage. It is not used anywhere in the game and is only accessible through the use of console commands.
The lightning gun is a version of the laser rifle which was cut from the Broken Steel add-on. Upon firing, it creates a natural gas cloud, then shoots a second laser, possibly igniting the gas. Due to this weapon being cut, it can only be obtained through console commands.

Enklave-Soldat typically have laser and/or plasma weapons equipped (usually at about 1/3 CND), so plenty of laser rifles can be found inside of the Enclave Headquarters at Raven Rock.
Laying next to a dead Brotherhood Initiate in the north office building off of Falls Church (the one without Initiate Pek).
In a tent near a wrecked army truck north east of Smith Caseys Garage, guarded by a level adjusted robot, but sometimes random creatures or patrolling Ausgestoßene der Bruderschaft will destroy the robot.

Can be discovered in a room next to some skeletons during the Stealing Independence quest.
Carried by some Talon Company mercs and Regulatoren at higher levels.
If you explore Fort Independence, you will come across a terminal in the Weapon Research room near the Armory Room, which says the AER9 will overheat after numerous shots, and that it is only supposed to be able to fire 12 to 13 shots per microfusion cell when you can shoot 24 (or 30 with the Wazer Wifle) lasers per cell. A terminal in the Citadel laboratory likewise describes the model for being notorious for overheating.
One very useful trait about this weapon is that, with a high enough repair skill, you can repair them to 100%, giving them the sizable value of 999 Deckel. Meaning at 100 barter skill, you can usually sell one for around 890 to 950 caps, depending on the vendor.
Hinter den Kulissen[]
On the barrel, there is a warning: "Caution: laser radiation". It's also rated as a "Class 6" laser, which may be a subtle reference to the internationally used laser class rating system, which currently rates the strongest industrial lasers as "Class 5".
