The HLR71-VEGA is a Melies weapon part that first appeared in Armored Core 4 and later Armored Core: For Answer.
Part Description[]
A prototype high laser rifle with powerful single shots.
High power per shot and anti-PA capability (highest PA reduction and PA Penetration stats for an energy weapon) puts it above other laser weapons, even the back mounted HLC02-SIRIUS. Unfortunately, it is outclassed in almost every other category (Melee Ability, initial speed) and also only has 6 shots. A high risk, high reward weapon. Can be obtained in AC:FA by beating Defend Arteria Carpals.

Use with other weapons that have high stun like the SAKUNAMI or the GAN01-SS-WBP to ensure a hit. Works best on a heavy-weight frame or even a lightweight emphasizing blitzkrieg combat (like Julius Emery). Not recommended for player vs. player matches.
