Missable weapons?

I know you can miss some with the WW trait, but are there quest-related ones you can miss?

I'm not sure I understand your question, but regarding WW and weapons, the developers stated WW grants you the ability to obtain two unique weapons that non-WW characters will be unable to obtain (unique Alien Blaster was one of them), but non-WW characters will be able to access a unique Gauss Rifle that the WW guys won't be able to find.

I've gotten a Guass rifle as WW. Though WW might prevent an easier way of getting one.

They meant that you can't get the YCS/something unique Gauss Rifle if you're playing with WW.

I'm only talking about unique weapons. For instance, in FO3 there are plasma rifles anyone can get from the Enclave soldiers, but the only way to get the unique plasma rifle was by doing Harken's quest in Rivet City and deciding to protect his identity.

Here, the unique Gauss Rifle is restricted to a random encounter that non-WW get to experience whereas the unique Alien Blaster and Holy Hand Grenades are specific to random encounters that only WW characters get to experience.

I'm not talking about the WW trait. I'm asking if there are any unique weapons in the game that can be missed and not obtained like that magnum you get from the Return to Sender quest.

Btw, I've seen quite a few Veteran Rangers equipped with Ranger Sequoias.Missable to an extent is the Maria, as you have to obtain it from Benny.

All in all, there probably aren't any missable weapons. The only missable ones would be quest related weapons like This Gun and ones held by certain faction members like Sterling and Sergio where you need to either shoot the weapon out of their hands or kill them. Nothing's stopping you from killing them though, except bad reputation with the corresponding factions.
