Only the most exquisite materials are used for this gun and the lacquered stock of the gun houses three bolt shells in its magazine. Due to the highly illegal nature of these weapons (and its ammunition) only very wealthy and trusted clients get the opportunity to obtain one, amongst them the richest bounty hunters and most famous beast-slayers of the [[Calixis Sector]].{{C|1: p. 109}}
==Volg "Spitfire" Bolt Pistol==
The '''Spitfire''' "bolt pistol" (which is in fact not a real bolt pistol) is based on the [[Lucifer pattern launcher]], a handgun-like device used for firing signal flares, tow lines and similar purposes). Allegedly created by an outcast tech-adept from [[Magnavar]] named [[Verey]], legends has it that the weapon was created to fight giant [[Maw-fluke]]s. This ad-hoc weapon proved so efficient that it has been produced on [[Volg]] ever since. Some Spitfires are even sold as authentic bolt pistols to people who don't know better. Instead of real bolts the Spitfire uses modified rocket-propelled distress flares with crude impact detonators. This ammunition is not nearlsy as effective as real bolts but are still quite lethal and will ignite flammable materials.{{C|1: p.109}}
