However, the reloading process can be interrupted for immediate firing.
As the magazine is internal and like the tube of a pump-action shotgun, the weapon must be reloaded by hand, one cell at a time, resulting in longer reload times compared to other energy weapons. The holorifle uses microfusion cells for ammunition, loading up to four cells in a tubular under-barrel magazine. As with most other energy weapons, the holorifle's projectile will ignite any gas traps and other flammable hazards that it comes in contact with. On impact, the projectile applies a "holorifle damage" effect, dealing an additional 15 damage over three seconds and visualized by glowing flakes wafting off the target (similar to the "flame damage" done by a flamer or incinerator) and knocking the target back. Since the holorifle is based on hologram technology, it fires a concentrated photon-based energy projectile, and so is most similar to photonic energy weapons (i.e., lasers). The weapon is unique in that its projectile is not a bullet, plasma, laser, flame, electromagnetic pulse, or electrical charge. However, the magnification level of the holorifle scope is only 2.86x, compared to the 3.5x magnification of the laser rifle scope. The scope of the weapon also appears similar to that of a laser rifle scope, but with the advantage of integrated night vision. The weapon's frame is similar in appearance to that of a grenade launcher. The holorifle is a scoped, pump-action energy based weapon.
The construction of the holorifle enabled him to circumvent the security of the Sierra Madre, which normally confiscates items with even trace amounts of contamination and returns them to the owner's home. He used a standard grenade launcher as the template, modifying it with a hologram emitter and drawing power from microfusion cells loaded into the grenade tube. The holorifle, along with other model types, was constructed by Father Elijah, utilizing technology that he had obtained from the Big Empty and fashioned from the holograms in the Sierra Madre.
