Sandgun

Sandguns use sand as ammo which is affected by gravity. When the sand projectile hits any object it will turn into a clump that will gather on the ground. The Sandgun gives you essentially the same shot ability as the Antlion (whose mandibles you use as a component in crafting). The Sandgun is not directly useful as a weapon, considering its strange form of ammunition and low damage per shot, however the properties of its ammunition makes it a great utility weapon. For example, if your aim and jumping is decent enough, you can use the sand fired by the Sandgun to create small "islands" of sand when crossing large lava pools without the use of the Water Walking Potion or the Obsidian Skin Potion and Flippers. Also, the projectile can be used to block passages extremely quickly and from a distance.

It is possible to hit yourself.
