Boomstick

The Boomstick is a pre-hardmode gun rarely found in Jungle Shrines. The Boomstick fires a spread of three shots, but only consumes one bullet to do so. All three shots have a base power of 12, yielding 19 damage with Musket Balls and 21 damage per shot with either Meteor Shot or Silver Bullets. Highly effective at close range, hitting an enemy with all three shots can do around 60 damage, butchering most non-Hardmode enemies. Due to the spread of the shots and the slow weapon speed, the Boomstick loses efficiency at long range. The Boomstick is mostly similar to its Hardmode counterpart, the Shotgun.

Trivia

 * It is a reference to the Evil Dead franchise, where ash the main character calls his shotgun his Boomstick.
