(So... does it really have higher AP cost? The pre-correction words "not signifcantly lower AP cost" confused me.)

The Destabilizer is an energy rifle of alien origin which is added to Fallout 3 with the add-on Mothership Zeta. It is the unique version of the alien disintegrator.

Characteristics

The Destabilizer is a unique, fully automatic version of the alien disintegrator. Per shot, the Destabilizer is much weaker than it appears to be, deals less damage and has a slower reload speed than an alien atomizer. Like an assault rifle, the Pip-Boy displays an accurate total of damage per second, not per shot. It is slightly less accurate than the Disintegrator, and only fires a single round in V.A.T.S., despite being automatic. This, coupled with a higher AP cost, makes the Destabilizer a poor weapon for heavy V.A.T.S. usage.

Durability

The Destabilizer can fire 1250 bolts, the equivalent of 13 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
