Locust Pistol

This weapon is slow, only holds 6 rounds but is quite powerful. It is good against wretches, which it can kill in one shot as long as you can shoot straight.
Locust Machine Gun
However, due to it's slow firing rate and small magazine, the snub pistol is much more effective against most online foes. The power may be slightly higher than that of the snub, but to any creature that this weapon is not a one shot kill, and online this can prove incredibly inconvenient.
