SWORDSPLOSION!!!

The SWORDSPLOSION!!! is a  shotgun manufactured by Torgue. It is obtained as a mission reward for successfully completing The Sword in The Stoner.

Special Weapon Effects
Fires a single projectile in the shape of a sword which explodes upon impact, spawning three smaller swords, which also explode on impact (much like a MIRV grenade). Consumes 2 ammo per shot.

Usage & Description
The is a powerful weapon which deals explosive damage. The slow projectiles may cause difficulty in scoring direct hits beyond short range, but the MIRV effect on impact allows it to remain useful at longer distances.

It is possible to have the child swords hit the enemy directly on impact if aimed at the right spot, inflicting such damage that even some of the strongest enemies can be killed with a single hit. This damage is drastically increased when using the "Casual" prefix.
