The Boltshot is a close range precision weapon that is very capable against organic matter. In this respect, it is similar to the human magnum. Unlike the magnum, it possesses no scope and its individual shots are relatively weak. It fires at a much higher rate but it takes at least 11 individual shots to make a kill, assuming you land a headshot. The ability to land a hand shot is severely hampered by the lack of a scope.
To make up for this, the Boltshot is capable of charging and releasing five rounds at once for massive damage. A single charged shot like this is enough to kill an enemy at close range which puts the damage at atleast 16 rounds of damage for only five rounds. This means you don't have to reload and you can do it twice per clip. This makes the weapon incredibly versatile for a secondary weapon but it can be difficult to use effectively and it doesn't excel at any of its functions.
Keep in mind that while you can only charge the shot for a short period of time, you can release it at any point after the reticle expands a second time. This gives you a little bit of a window to control when the shot is released.
