The Minotaur

After some thought I decided I should give Max a gun, most likely just one. So, from a love of shotguns and explosives comes the Minotaur, Max’s “grand entrance”.

Instead of your usual magazine or bullet, this gun reacts with Max’s Arc, so in order to use or “activate” it, he needs to send a current through the gun. A max charge (no pun intended) can shoot up to 20 bullets without needing to reload, but after every shot a little bit of smoke needs to be released to prevent overheating. The Arc itself comes out as a thick cylindrical “bullet”, resembling a shotgun slug. Because the Arc charge is unstable, the slug explodes on first impact.

What makes this gun so special is not only the explosive capabilities, but the incredible range this can shoot at without losing damage. It’s almost a hybrid, between a shotgun and a rifle, but if a shotgun and a rifle could explode. Makes sense?

Anyway, I made a small clip of how it would look in action:
