The Boltshot does not have enough rounds in one magazine to kill in the hands of an inexperienced user. One would have to empty an entire magazine into a target to drop its shields, reload, and then kill it with a headshot. Despite its powerful secondary mode, it takes exactly four seconds to charge, rendering the user defenseless. In addition, it consumes half the ammo of the weapon, meaning that only two shots of it are possible before a reload. If the shot fails to kill the target, the user will be left helpless until it cools down again. | The Boltshot does not have enough rounds in one magazine to kill in the hands of an inexperienced user.
