Boltok Pistol
| "Sarge?...I hurt."
|
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.
History
Edit
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.
Behind the Scenes
Edit
- If you achieve a perfect reload with the Boltok, it will fire faster than normal.
- The execution of the Boltok is as follows: The user flips the Boltok, grabs the muzzle, slams the handle on the enemy's head, flips the gun again, and spins it around the finger.
- In the Gears of War 3 demo, it is shown that the Armored Kantus dual-wielded Boltok Pistols. However, in the original release, the Armored Kantus dual-wielded Gorgon SMGs.
- In Gears of War 3, it is The Cole Train's hand gun of choice.
- In Gears 3, the Boltok can rip body parts of your enemy, a shot to the arm and it falls off, a shot to leg it falls off.
