Template:New Content Template:Weapon Infobox The Z-110 Directed Energy Pistol[1], also known as the Boltshot[2], is a Forerunner energy channel weapon.
Overview
The Boltshot came into use after the end of the first century of Forerunner-Flood conflict, and remained a staple weapon for the rest of the war. Functioning as a close-range precision weapon, it decimates organic matter.[1] The weapon is a particle dilator and also has a burst function at close range.[3]
Design details
The weapon is clearly of Forerunner design; it possesses an angular design and metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and reloading mechanics. Orange highlights can be seen while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; these highlights grow brighter when the weapon is fired. When the weapon's trigger is held, four "flaps" extend from the side of the weapon activating it's burst function. The "flaps" glow brighter as the weapon generates energy for it's burst function and retract after the bolt has been released.[4]
