Bowgun (RE4)

The 'Bowgun is an weapon that appears in the Separate Ways side game of Resident Evil 4. It is a pistol crossbow that uses explosives bolts as ammo.

Gameplay
The Bowgun is a very unique weapon as it fires bolts that explode. The bolts explode on contact. It can only be obtained by purchasing it from the Merchant for 70,000₧ in Chapter 3 and on in Separate Ways.

The weapon takes up 15 spaces (3x5) of Ada's inventory and uses Bowgun Bolts as ammunition. It has a firepower of 16.6, and can fire every 2.43 seconds. It fires one bolt at a time. The number shown in the HUD is the total number of bolts the player has. The Bowgun can not be upgraded.

Description
"A standard issue pistol-style crossbow."

Strategies

 * Because the Bowgun takes up so much space, some players wait until the last Chapter to buy it along with the final case upgrade.
 * If shot into a target at short range, it might significantly harm the player, which is especially a problem in the battle against Krauser, as it takes place in a rather small stage.
 * The Bowgun works best against Saddler as there is also a lot of ammo for it in the area.
