Locust Pistol
The Boomshot is a [[Locust]] weapon that resembles a cross between a rocket launcher and a grenade launcher. The weapon fires an explosive projectile that detonates on impact with a damaging explosion. A direct hit will destroy an average sized target. If the target is missed, upon detonation this projectile splits into three smaller charges which bounce randomly around the immidiate area (usually towards the direction the shot was taken in) and detonate with smaller explosions. The boomshot is a one-shot weapon and must be reloaded after each shot.


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.
It is avaliable in both single player and multiplayer games.
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.
3 shots to the body down someone, and two shots to the head kill. A shot and a melee will down your opponent.
