But unless you're shooting at an unarmoured target, not as much of it get's through compared to AP rounds.

True, you're not going to be killing deathclaws with the basic energy weapons but you'll have trouble taking them out with many basic guns as well.

Once I got the unique green laser rifle I started using it instead as it had higher DAM, but a regular laser rifle with a scope and the +3 dam mod and overcharged/maxcharged ammo can be a surprisingly powerful sniping weapon. I'm not sure how far you've got, but I found that the best early/mid game anti-armor weapon I could find was a regular laser gun, upgraded with everything except the (possibly bugged) beam splitter that reduces individual beam damage too much and in my case actually reduced overall damage instead of adding 30% more.

I found the Tri-Beam laser (with focusing mod), Q-35 Plasma Rifle and the Laser RCW to be the most effective weapons so far. Even with 100 in EW and the various energy weapons I usually get the red solid shield appearing which signifies that the current weapon has a muchly reduce effect against the current target. All energy weapons are rubbish against any sort of armour. I'm running through with a Energy Weapons build now.

I suppose it could be effective against Jackals as they can be well armed and tend to be quite lightly armored, but since they have quite low health they can be killed just as well by any other half-decent weapon. I can appreciate that the Gatling laser makes sense thematically, but since there are very few lightly armored foes at this point in the game (particularly ones who are dangerous enough to warrant the Gatling Laser's 500+ DPS), it's hard to see much practical use for it. Interesting, I thought there was more complex maths going on than just that. It's exactly the kind of weapon you want to use against humans and unarmored foes.ДЄnd the opposite of what you want to use against armored foes.

The gatling laser is really the most defined laser weapon in terms of that it embraces the notion that lasers are fast, accurate and low damage but high dps.

I'm not sure if better criticals would make much difference since I don't understand the crit damage calculations and I can't tell how frequently the gatling laser currently crits.ДЄny suggestions? Am I using it wrong? Would those perks help? I don't have the better criticals or laser commander perks yet, but I suspect that laser commander wouldn't makes much of a difference since +10% damage translates into only 1 or 2 extra points. Those 10 extra shots per second don't help one jot against armor and make it good only for killing a few unarmored enemies before all your ammo is exhausted. Obsidian also seem to have boosted the fire rate of the Gatling laser by 10 shots per second, increasing the DPS but also increasing the ammo consumption. I've literally shot all 240 ammo at a single Paladin and inflicted only minor damage. With New Vegas' Damage threshold system on armor, a fully repaired GL with 100 points in energy weapons and the +3 damage mod firing max-charged shots is hopeless against any heavily armored targets like Deathclaws, Super Mutants and BoS Paladins as their high DT almost completely neutralizes the damage. Unfortunately I've tried it on a number of different enemies and have found that compared to Fallout 3's GL it is surprisingly underpowered. I have been playing Fallout new vegas a lot and have finally got my hands on one of my favourite Fallout 3 weapons, the Gatling laser!
