The Bow Gun (ボウガン bougan ) is a weapon item that Claire Redfield can find in Resident Evil 2.
Gameplay[]
This weapon is roughly a weaker version of Leon's Shotgun, as it is a close-range weapon with the potential to hit several enemies at once. It carries up to 18 bolts and fires them in a spread of three bolts at a time. It does, however, benefit from a slightly faster firing speed than the shotgun.
The Bowgun is unable to decapitate or split enemies in two but can kill a zombie in one shot at close range as long as all three bolts hit. Any less will only wound the zombie.
The Bowgun is not as effective with larger enemies such as Lickers, although interestingly, the bowgun's silent firing can sometimes confuse these sightless creatures.
Location[]
