Boltok Pistol

This weapon is slow, only holds 6 rounds but is quite powerful (two headshots to kill). It is good against wretches, which it can kill in one shot as long as you can shoot straight. However, due to its slow firing rate and small magazine, the snub pistol is much more effective against most online foes. The power may be slightly higher than that of the snub, but to any creature that this weapon is not a one-shot kill, and online this can prove incredibly inconvenient. 3 shots to the body down someone, and two shots to the head kill. A shot and a melee will down your opponent. This weapon must be obtained for use in multiplayer. (-StrategyWiki)

The Boltok Pistol was the standard-issue sidearm of the Locust, specifically the Drones. It is a high-caliber revolver with a 6-round capacity. 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. (-Gears Of War Wikia)
