Splasher Blashter

root@bandit-db:~$ cat description.txt

A Bandit-made E-tech shotgun that fires a three-round burst of huge slow-moving energy orbs instead of a normal shell spread. It keeps the brand's big magazine and rough handling, but the E-tech burst hits hard enough to make it one of the stronger oddball shotguns in its class. It is expensive at 4 shells per burst, yet still surprisingly efficient for the amount of damage and splash it can put down.

It can roll a critical-hit accessory even though it cannot actually score critical hits. It cannot roll the vertical grip and cannot spawn with the Assssult prefix, so it never gains a five-projectile version. Jumping and firing at the ground can give a small extra lift at the cost of moderate self-damage. Its projectiles count as rockets, so absorb shields can convert them into launcher ammo.
