<!-- What is the weapon -->
The '''Boom Stick'''  is a [[Handheld_Weapons#Ranged_Weapons|Handheld Ranged Weapon]] in [[Barotrauma]].


The '''Boom Stick''' is a unique variant of the {{hl|Riot Shotgun}}, which differs from the latter by having a much faster pump-action, quadrupled knockback, but lower magazine size.

The Boom Stick is a two-handed short-range medium-size firearm, meaning it can be stored in the inventory, but not in [[Storage Container]]s. The Boom Stick is a unique variant of the {{hl|Riot Shotgun}}, which differs from the latter by having a much faster pump-action and quadrupled knockback, but lower magazine size.  
 
It fires {{hl|Shotgun Shell|s=s}} or {{hl|Shotgun Rubber Shell|20}} loaded with eight pellets spread randomly in a 15° arc from a single or one bullet from an {{hl|Explosive Slug|20}}. Shotgun Shells deal larger amounts of damage at close range, where more pellets may hit, but individual pellets deal the same damage at any range.
The Boom Stick is a short-range weapon which fires eight pellets from a single {{hl|Shotgun Shell}}, which make it difficult to hit distant targets as they can spread. Shotgun Shells deal larger amounts of damage at close range, where more pellets may hit, inflicting {{hl|Gunshot Wound|s=s}}, {{hl|Bleeding}} and a brief {{hl|Stun}}. It can also fire {{Hyperlink|Explosive Slug|s=s}} and {{hl|Shotgun Rubber Shell|s=s}}. As for every other firearm, used ammunition cannot be recovered.
 
The Boom Stick's <span class="explain" title="time between shots">pump-action</span> is near-instant at 0.1 second, against 1.5 second for the Riot Shotgun. It has four times the knockback, with 20 against 5 for the Riot Shotgun, and its magazine can only hold 2 Shotgun Shells, against 6 for the Riot Shotgun.


It should be noted that the Boom Stick has a wide spread even for skilled users. Therefore, in the hands of the unskilled, the spread greatly reduces the weapon's utility outside of point-blank range.

Shooting 10 times per second is relatively easy. While holding {{Key|mouse|left}} and {{Key|mouse|right}}, load shells from the hotbar by pressing the approppriate number key. Press the key at least 5 times per second to shoot as quickly as it is possible.

The Boom Stick is a unique variant of the Riot Shotgun, which differs from the latter by having a much faster pump-action and quadrupled knockback, but lower magazine size. It fires Shotgun Shells or Shotgun Rubber Shell loaded with eight pellets spread randomly in a 15° arc from a single or one bullet from an Explosive Slug. Shotgun Shells deal larger amounts of damage at close range, where more pellets may hit, but individual pellets deal the same damage at any range.

  • It should be noted that the Boom Stick has a wide spread even for skilled users. Therefore, in the hands of the unskilled, the spread greatly reduces the weapon's utility outside of point-blank range.
