Once loaded, the laser musket can be fired, consuming all the cells stored in one powerful shot. Each subsequent crank charges the capacitor even further with another fusion cell in an unmodded state to a maximum of two, but mods can expand capacity up to six cranks of charge. The player character must manually load up each shot by pressing the "reload" key, causing the Sole Survivor to turn the hand-crank and charge the capacitor with one fusion cell. What makes the laser musket unique from other laser weapons in the game is that even with ammo in the player character's inventory, it starts off "unloaded," and does not automatically reload after firing. The effect of three or more cranks often results in reducing the victim to ashes with red smoke. Also, like the Gauss rifle, it sounds like thunder when fired, with an intensity that is amplified with every charge level. However, its beam is very similar to that of the Gauss rifle, albeit red in color.
Like most laser weapons, it uses fusion cells as ammunition. Every odd crank (one, three and five) causes the beam to visibly intensify, with the final charge creating a decent sized red luminescence.
The beam itself is created inside a makeshift capacitor, which the player character charges via a hand-crank on the back. The "barrel" consists of a standard laser rifle housing with two metal-ringed lenses atop a metal rod extending from the stock, through which the laser beam is presumably focused (although it can be fitted with a focusing array that looks the same as either the laser pistol or laser rifle). It appears to be meshed together from various mechanical and electronic parts strapped to a wooden rifle stock. It is the signature weapon of the Minutemen faction and several can be obtained from them. The laser musket is a homemade, nonstandard version of a laser rifle.
