Fallout 3 Unique Weapons - The Pitt - Metal Blaster
Unique Laser Rifle. - It is almost twice as powerful than a normal laser rifle and the unique Wazer Wifle. It lacks the precision of a standard laser rifle, making it much less effective for long-range attacks, but close sneak attack critical hits outside of VATS are exceptionally devastating. -It fires multiple lasers at a time while only using one unit of ammunition, a property also used by Protectron's Gaze. The best way to describe it is as a Laser Combat Shotgun. - The Metal Blaster cannot be used to repair Laser Rifles or the Wazer Wifle, but the aforementioned weapons are used to repair this weapon. - The Metal Blaster's laser beams will not ignite flammable gasses like the other energy weapons. Unfortunately this does not mean that it is safe to fire in a pocket of flammable gasses. While the beams themselves will not ignite the gas (unlike the other beam weapons), the actual firing of the Metal Blaster while immersed in gas WILL ignite it. - Like Protectron's Gaze, each beam has an individual chance to cause a critical hit outside VATS. This makes this weapon extremely efficient in real time combat. - Sneak attack criticals are truly monstrous. Each beam does 27 damage on a critical, upped to 40.5 with better criticals in addition to the base non-critical damage of 55, for a potential 839 damage if all beams hit. - It may be important to note that when fired in VATS the Metal Blaster's spread is drastically increased, whereas outside of VATS, the spread is tight ...Fallout 3 Unique Weapons - The Pitt - Metal Blaster

Life's A Gas - A New arrival to Diverticulitis, Flatulence and Gas Pains
We want to discuss a particularly grievous health that plagues millions of habitancy in our culture from midlife onwards. It is a health known to be culture-specific, suffered by affluent Westerns more than by any other group of people. And its cause is said to be unknown to modern medicine. It's called diverticulitis.

Life's A Gas - A New arrival to Diverticulitis, Flatulence and Gas Pains
Diverticulitis is a pain in the butt for millions of people, literally, since it involves the colon and rectum. What happens is that the wall of the colon, or large intestine, becomes weakened over time from increased pressure of unknown cause. The pressure within the colon causes weakened areas to pocket outwards, creating sacs for digested matter to fetch and fester. These sacs are called diverticula. When you have these sacs you are said to have diverticulosis. When diverticula become infected and inflamed, the health is called diverticulitis, which can be as painful as appendicitis and can lead to rupture of the colon wall, a very hazardous situation. The key issue complex in this health is the creation of increased pressure within the large intestine. It is the force of this pressure that causes the sacs to form.
Knowing what causes the increased pressure, then, is important to the prevention and medicine of this condition. At one time it was plan by medicine that the diet might be too high in fiber, causing a blockage of digestion and the increased colon pressure. But lowering the fiber of the diet did not significantly alter the condition. Then it was plan that too microscopic fiber prevented permissible elimination, and high fiber diets were recommended. Unfortunately, this did not help the condition, either. Diverticulitis is also equally coarse among vegetarians as it is among meat eaters. While extra interest groups promoting certain diets gift research supporting their dietary view as preventive of diverticulitis, there is contrasting research to balance it. So, the overall research on diverticulitis has been inconclusive regarding the cause of increased colon pressure that creates this dreadful condition. And in the absence of knowing the cause, medicine can merely offer pain relief with drugs, antibiotics for the infections, and surgery for particularly nasty, abscessed pockets. As for prevention, the current recommendation is to eat more fiber, development th bowels need to eliminate more frequently.
Of course, one thing was overlooked in the healing research on diverticulitis. The most coarse surmise for increased colon pressure is not precisely a healing issue, but a cultural one. That is why medicine has missed it. Furthermore, this cultural practice causes the healing profession to suffer from diverticulitis to an even greater extent than their patients.
It all has to do with answering Nature when it calls.
We live in a community that trains us from birth to hold in our waste products. From the pressures of diaper training, to the pressures of using social toilets at school, to the pressures of working without the choice of taking needed potty breaks, or where a toilet is plainly not available, our culture has pressured us into keeping it in. Of course, this creates pressure in the colon. After all, one of the simplest ways to increase colon pressure is to close the anal sphincter while the intestine is contracting.
Everyone has experienced this one time or another. maybe the urge came when you were complex in a social situation that you could not conveniently stop plainly because you had to sass Nature's call. Or it could have been while driving, and a rest stop or assistance hub was nowhere to be found. Even if there was a suitable restroom, some habitancy are uncomfortable defecating in a social restroom and prefer keeping it in until home. whatever the reason, the fact is that our culture makes personal waste supervision an issue that is not all the time precisely resolved, promoting procrastination rather than elimination. The follow is increased colon pressure and diverticula formation.
In addition to keeping in waste, there is the even greater problem of keeping in gas. The technical term for this is flatus retention. It's what most habitancy are trained to do in public, from school days onward. This is why diverticulitis is more prevalent among professional, affluent Westerns, than among the poor of third world countries. The higher your status, the less proper your flatus. It seems that poverty buys a right to pass wind when needed, while affluence creates the need for greater discretion. Yet, the sad fact is that the pressure of the fart must go somewhere. whether pass wind or have your intestine blow up. The choice is yours.
Now you can see why medicine says the cause of diverticulitis is unknown. A cultural taboo enshrouds this topic, preventing its unbiased and honest consideration. Interestingly, there was one record connecting diverticulitis with keeping in gas. It was in the British healing journal, Lancet, in 1975. The record is entitled, "Flatus keeping is the major factor in diverticular disease". But the data was ignored. medicine seems more comfortable prescribing drugs and surgery for diverticulitis than plainly telling habitancy to poop and fart more often.
For those who suffer from diverticulosis or diverticulitis, you can achieve your own self study. Over the next three months, note how often you feel the urge to eliminate, but find yourself choosing, for one surmise or another, to hold it in. Pay single attention to your need to pass wind, and how often you don't. Make every exertion to allow your body to do what it wants to do. If you have a partner, you may want him or her to try this self study at the same time.
