It operates identically to a normal Shotgun, except with the addition of Kinetic Bolts to augment the weapon with greater overall range (15.45 m (50.69 ft) in hipfire, 26.01 m (85.33 ft) with Smart-Link<ref name="SFA">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZeusTupk3U '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 5 | Shotguns Full Analysis'', Channel: ''Aozolai'', Date: ''2/9/2017'']</ref>) and extra anti-vehicular attributes that include stronger knockback against vehicles. It carries a single-shell reload as well, effectively reducing reload times by 50.5%. These improvements make the ''Blaze of Glory'' even more fatal against anything up to 16.95 m (55.61 ft) away than other Shotguns, especially as its knockback allows players to slow down moving vehicles like [[M12 Warthog|Warthogs]], [[M820 Scorpion|Scorpions]], [[Type-54 Ghost|Ghosts]], and [[Type-58 Wraith|Wraiths]] to facilitate hijacking/ boarding action or even further attacks on the vehicle. In addition, it can even destroy light vehicles in as little as 3 shells. As the weapon is equipped with the Kinetic Bolts attachment, any targets killed with the weapon disintegrate upon death in the same manner as a [[Promethean Knight]]. Its closest competitors at close and medium range are ''[[The Answer]]'' and ''[[Didact's Signet]]''. | ||
