Special Weapon Effects
Makes their brain hurt - Fires 6 projectiles, at the cost of reduced accuracy. Damage per projectile is also reduced, but the total damage dealt by all 6 projectiles is still greater than other sniper rifles.

Description & Usage
The Skullmasher is a cross between a shotgun and a Sniper Rifle. Just like a shotgun, it shoots multiple pellets with every pull of the trigger, and just like Sniper Rifles, the weapon is scoped, accurate, and deals heavy critical damage. The Skullmasher is not quite as accurate as a normal Sniper Rifle due to it's spread, but the spread usually guarantees partial contact. When firing from close range, a perfect head shot is usually fatal.

Notes & Trivia

 * This gun is one of the many unmodded guns that is very effective against Crawmerax the Invincible due to the extreme critical damage.
 * Very useful to shave off Bloodwing cooldown with Mordecai's Carrion Call skill.
 * The Skullmasher has great knockback, allowing it to be used for unconventional purposes, such as hurling unoccupied vehicles into otherwise unreachable areas. Racers work well, but are subsequently limited to use only in DLC3.
