Fallout 4 features many different weapons, each with unique advantages. While some weapons are best for short-range combat, others are better for fighting from a distance.

The Alien Blaster deals 50 base damage and can carry 42 rounds in its clip by default, making it a great option if you like pistols with large ammo magazines.

Although the Alien Blaster is an energy pistol that can only shoot Alien Blaster Rounds by default, you can craft a Fusion Magazine attachment onto it, which allows it to shoot Energy Cells instead. To craft this attachment, you need to unlock the fourth rank of the Science! perk and have five Aluminum, four Adhesive, three Fiber Optics, three Screws, five Circuitry, three Gold, and four Nuclear Materials.
