Boomshot
The Boomshot is a locust weapon that resembles a cross between a rocket launcher and a grenade launcher. The weapon fires an explosive projectile that detonates on impact with a damaging explosion. A direct hit will destroy an average sized target. If the target is missed, upon detonation this projectile splits into three smaller charges which bounce randomly around the immediate area (usually towards the direction the shot was taken in) and detonate with smaller explosions. The boomshot is a one-shot weapon and must be reloaded after each shot.
It is available in both single player and multiplayer games, but must be obtained for use in multiplayer. (-StrategyWiki)

The Boomshot Grenade Launcher is a single-shot grenade launcher primarily used by Locust Boomers in Gears of War and Gears of War 2. The Boomshot fires a delayed-fuse high-explosive shell that creates a large explosion upon impact, followed by the detonation of about three to five small “bomblets” that create a series of secondary explosions (comparable to a cluster bomb). The shell is loaded into the Boomshot via a drum magazine. While Boomers are exclusively equipped with the Boomshot, Drones and Gears are also capable of using the Boomshot.
