The Boltok Pistol^[1] was the standard-issue sidearm of the Locust, specifically the Drones. It is a high-caliber revolver with a 6-round capacity, a side swing chamber and an enclosed hammer. It is heavier, slower to fire, and holds half as much ammunition as the COG-issue Snub Pistol, but does unequivocally more damage per shot and has exceptional stopping power. In this regard, it continues the Locust weapon-design philosophy of creating weapons with an emphasis towards brute force.

HistoryEdit

The Boltok is used mostly by the Locust and can cause a significant amount of damage. The Boltok fires significantly slower than the Snub, but it packs a high amount of firepower. It has a zoom capability and can also decapitate an enemy with precision.

There were spacific Drone types that wieled the Boltok. It was mostly used by the Bolter^[2], but sometimes is also used by the Grenadier class, or the Queen's Guards.
